Values of A330-200 Continue to Suffer from End of Product Life Cycle

The values of the A330-200 continue to experience a downward trend, with the last six months seeing a fall in excess of eight percent. At the time of the A330-200 launch in 1995 Airbus anticipated that the market for the 250-300-seat segment amounted to some 3,000 units over a 20…

Values of Older Aircraft Should Less Than Half Life

The arrival of new types to the market during the course of this decade inevitably means that there is a greater likelihood of older types being parted out, even with record levels of traffic growth. The engines remain the key consideration when parting out an aircraft but the disposal of…

Aircraft Market Assessment

The B737-900 Market Presence. The B737-900 has not proved to be a success. Just as the B757-300 and B767-400, the stretch to the existing B737-800 did not go far enough, leaving Airbus with a few more years in which to gain orders for the A321. The -900 is marginalized in…
