B737-900 Values Stable Due to Engine Prices
The values of the -900 can perhaps be likened to those of the A321-100 which similarly has not been the most successful of variants. The existing operators of the type number only six with Alaska and United possessing nearly 50 percent of the fleet, a statistic that has barely changed…

Value Added Options Continue to Require Percentage Adjustment

A330-900 Values Fail to Advance
The market for the A330-900 remains reasonable but values have not achieved the levels that were expected when the type was launched but then orders have been scarce for most widebodies over the last year. When the A330-900 was launched the fuel efficiency over the existing A330-200 and -300 was…

Aircraft Market Assessment
The B757-300 Market Presence. The final sales tally of the –300 at 55 represented a disappointment for Boeing but it is interesting that the B797 is now targeting a portion of this seating capacity. The limited number of deliveries needs to be placed into the context of an overall successful…

Values of B777-300ER Continue to Fall Despite Previously Being Favored
While the fortunes of the A220 are ascending those of the B777-300ER are clearly falling as the market looks at the arrival of the B777-9 and ponders of how the -300ER will fare in the used market. With an age profile that now stretches back for approximately 16 years the…

Widebody Rentals Fail to Advance
The market for used widebodies remains reasonable but the rentals are failing to improve despite traffic growth. The manufacturers are more able to match production with demand and are delivering new aircraft in reasonable quantities even if Airbus rates are low. In the first three months of 2019 Airbus delivered…
