Aircraft Asset Assessment: B737-700
Market Presence. The B737-700 is endemic but not so popular as other types. Almost taken for granted, the B737-700 has secured some 1,271 orders versus 1,513 of two years ago of which over 1,092 have been delivered. However the -800 continues to be the most popular with nearly 4,224 orders.…

Values of “Five Year Old” Aircraft Worth Less Today Than 2010
In assessing the performance of aircraft as assets the overall trend for both widebodies and narrowbodies shows a decline though in terms of lease rentals the differential is of lesser significance. In 2010 the value of a five year old A320 – ie an A320 delivered in 2005 – was…
