"Ripple Effect" Allows Values Some Stability

Slippage in B747-200B Values Fails to be Halted
The all too sporadic demand for the B747-200B means that values continue to decline such that scrap levels have long since been passed. Before the first B747 had rolled off the production line, the -200B had been ordered. Though identical to the -100 in appearance, apart from more windows on…

CRJ1000 Pricing Likely To Be Attractive Despite High List Price
The launch of the CRJ1000 at last offers a credible alternative to the Embraer 190 and even the 195 but with list prices some 20 percent higher than the competition, considerable discounts are still likely. The list price of the CRJ1000 approximates $41 million. This compares with $51 million and…

A380F Residuals Under Scrutiny As UPS Considers Order

PW6000 Powered A318 Values Likely to Continue to Attract Discounting
