Aircraft Asset Assessment: ATR72-500 & -600

Market Presence. The ATR72-500 is well established among a large number of operators. The values of the -500 have not been adversely impacted by the arrival of the -600. Even when becoming available, placing used -500s has been easy when compared to many other types. The relatively high lease rental…

Aircraft Asset Assessment: B737-900ER

Market Presence. As a member of the B737NG family the fate of the -900ER is somewhat assured. The use of extra fuel tanks provides the range while the extra exits offers operators the necessary capacity to compensate for the higher weight - and cost. The extra tanks, which can be…

Aircraft Asset Assessment: B767-300ER

Market Presence. The B767-300ER presented the operating leasing community with the ideal tool with which to enter the widebody operating lease arena. Throughout the 1990s and then again in the last decade, the B767-300ER enjoyed considerable success but then fell victim to the usual problem of lengthy production and market…

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.…

Aircraft Asset Assessment: B737-500

Market Presence. The -500 has a limited market presence. Though some ten percent of the fleet is being advertised, relatively limited availability is no justification for assuming that current values should remain stable.

Aircraft Asset Assessment: DC10-30

Market Presence. The surprise is that there are still DC10-30s in service. There have been more than 260 retirements. Gone are such flag carrier names as British Airways, SAS, Sabena, Swissair, Lufthansa, MAS, Northwest, Thai.
