High Fuel Prices Hasten Demise of Older Widebody Values
The high price of fuel is continuing to take its toll on the demand for older widebodies, with values experiencing further weakness.

Older Widebody Values Find No Solace In Rising International Traffic
The demand for older widebodies continues to weaken as the high price of fuel forces operators to acquire newer, more fuel-efficient models.

Scrap Levels Continue To Dominate
Scrap values are increasingly being viewed as the norm for older widebodies as demand continues to weaken. The larger widebodies out of production - the B747-200, DC10, L1011 - have been a key component of the parking lot for nearly a decade. Values have consistently declined such that values virtually…

No Halt to Slide In Older Widebody Values
The parking lots are filling up with older widebodies and it appears increasingly likely that a proportion will never fly again. As operators focus on extracting greater efficiency from more expensive equipment and seek to streamline fleet structures, the appetite for acquisition and even retention continues to wane.

Older Widebody Values Continue to Slide
The residual values of the older widebodies do not face an uncertain future - their continued demise is a certainty. As young B747-400s may be snapped up for less than $50 million, and in view of the ready supply of both new and used modern widebodies, it seems unlikely that…
