Values of Turboprops Remain Stable Despite Fuel

The lower price of fuel, which should seemingly allow operators to fly regional jets more efficiently, has not had an impact on the values of turboprops as demand for used equipment remains robust. The turboprop market is one that is largely ignored by the air transport community primarily as the…

Newer Turboprop Rentals Remain Stable

The newer aircraft types such as the Dash8-300, -400, ATR42-500, ATR72-500/-600 are the more easily placed. Other types of turboprops are leased but a finance lease or traditional finance agreement are used more extensively. While deliveries are not on the scale of the jet sector, there continues to be a…

Turboprop Rentals Focus on New Types

While the leasing of turboprops remains profitable for lessors it is notable that such leasing tends to focus on the newer aircraft types such as the Dash8-300, -400, ATR42-500, ATR72-500/-600 as these can be more easily placed.

The primary vehicles for vanilla operating leases remain the stalwart favorites of the ATR42/ATR72 and the Dash 8, notably the -300…

Turboprop Rentals Remain Stable

Lease rates for turboprops may be at their peak but this developed into a plateau rather than a cycle. The lease rentals being secured are not stable but are generating considerable profits for the lessors who have been able and willing to plunder this hitherto ignored segment of the market…

Values of Used Turboprops Remain Strong

The lower price of fuel has done nothing to quell the demand for used turboprops and indeed for new examples. Lower fuel prices generally mean that jets become more efficient over shorter sector lengths but operators cannot build their fleet plans around a temporary fall in jet fuel pricing. The…

Turboprop Rentals Continue to Generate Profits

While there may not be much opportunity for lessors to upscale lease rentals, at current levels the rates are generating more than an adequate return. Shorter terms to less creditworthy lessees is a means by which lease rentals can be improved but such higher rates inevitably reflect the higher risk.…
