The latest round of high profile media attention on aviation-related security issues has the potential to adversely affect the tenuous recovery in lease rentals should such issues persist or manifest into terrorist action.
Prior to the current spate of problems, the industry was beginning to exhibit solid performance in the second half of 2003. A stronger world economy, a recovery in the stock market and renewed consumer confidence has filtered through to the aviation community. The effects of SARS and Iraq were overcome and traffic levels began to climb, particularly on long haul flights. Yields also improved. The weakening dollar has benefited those paying lease rentals or finance in dollars but receiving revenues in other currencies, though the potential rise in interest rates remains. The launch of new low-fare carriers by the U.S. majors has provided a means of retaining existing equipment while also coming to terms with new market realities. However, some U.S. majors are still finding trading conditions difficult such that the prospect of Chapter 11 bankruptcy will continue to generate pessimism.
The number of new orders has remained low such that Airbus and Boeing [NYSE: BA] continue to fight hard battles for each order, particularly those for widebodies. The launch of the B7E7 in all but name represents a key turning point for Boeing as it struggles to compete with a still vibrant Airbus. Both manufacturers are now having to consider the problems associated with replacing ageing models at a time of market weakness.
The listing of current and future values below are based on the year of build. The essential assumption is that the aircraft is being sold as a single unit between a willing seller and willing buyer for cash. The high and low figures for Oct. 31 current values represent adjustments for offer and sale prices, financing arrangements, specification differences, maintenance status and condition. These are not absolutes and distressed sales as well as sale and leaseback transactions may fall outside the figures indicated. Some transactions involving distressed sales on fully run-out aircraft are considered exceptional and can fall outside the value ranges. Scrap values are also likely to fall outside the indicated range of values. Quantity discounts, particularly for the larger equipment, will attract discounts of at least 15-20 percent as a matter of course.
The values quoted below were prepared in late October in the context of an improving market. The values listed below are market values, not theoretical base values and seek to balance transaction pricing, where available, and the considered worth of the asset.
The quoted future values attempt to predict cyclic trends when supply will exceed demand and vice versa. Values may experience a rise as well as a fall in any projected year. In addition to values, an aircraft rating is included for all aircraft types. The aircraft ratings, ranging from highest A++ to the lowest E–, reflects The Aircraft Value Analysis Company‘s opinion as to the relative attraction of the asset over the short to medium term and is determined by a number of variables ranging from product life cycles to levels of availability.
The future values – four and seven years from 2003 – are expressed in current U.S. dollars having been adjusted for inflation and are based on the mid-case current values. For Stage 2 aircraft no future values are provided beyond this year unless hushed. Future values for hushkitted aircraft are however, provided.
The figures are for guidance only and are not intended to reflect actual recent market transactions – assuming that any reliable data exists. Rather the values represent the considered worth of the aircraft tempered by the prevailing market conditions. (Values are given in millions of U.S. dollars.)
The data has been extracted from the October 31, 2003, edition of the semi-annual Aircraft Value Reference 2003-2023, priced $1,250.00, by courtesy of The Aircraft Value Analysis Company.

The A300B2-200 has been relegated to the parting out market for a number of years such that its relevance to asset-based financing has long since been lost. The type, however, demonstrated all too well the problem of associating long-term residual value to an initial and marginalized variant.

The -100 fared slightly better than the B2-200 in that it was perceived to be suited to the freighter conversion market. An upgrade to a -200 was possible but relatively few conversions took place. The type has little or no relevance to the market, even though the youngest examples are just over 20 years of age.

A type that established Airbus as a viable competitor to the then mighty Boeing and McDonnell Douglas. Whereas earlier variants of the A300 were used as the basis for proving the concept of a twin-engined widebody, the B4-200 pushed the model into the mainstream. Values are facing a very tough time, though it is not totally down and out.

The A300F4-200 still suffers from virtual constant excess, though there always appear to be willing lessees eager to take advantage of a fluctuating airfreight market. Values have deteriorated from the highs of nearly $20 million, but at current levels they represent viability for both owners and operators. The B757 is already on the scene and the arrival of the B767-300 will represent a keen competitor. Values of the oldest examples are not likely to be able to resist an age-related decline.

Despite significant falls over the last few years, if not decade, the type continues to suffer further declines. Freighter conversion has been beckoning for some considerable time but speculative conversion is proving elusive.

The -600R still has something to commend it to operators. The prospect of a replacement still seems far off such that for operators seeking high capacity for medium haul routes, the A300-600R represents one of very few alternatives. Values, however, are still considered to have declined over the last six months in line with the expectation that the principal source of demand lay with the freighter market. Post conversion capital costs need to be below $20 million, suggesting that some further falls are inevitable.

Like the A300, the A310 is unlikely to have a direct replacement for many years, forcing carriers to continue seeking the smaller widebody. Values continue to decline, though lease rentals may be faring better. If and when a recovery emerges, the A310 is not expected to be among the beneficiaries. Scrapping has already befallen some examples, highlighting the precarious nature for values.

The age profile of the A320 now extends back for nearly 16 years. This has created a clear need to differentiate between those built before 1996 – a point when an upgraded version of the CFM56 became available – and subsequent examples. Values and lease rentals of the A320 have been impacted by the problems encountered by a number of operators. Something of a surplus is constraining values and rentals, a problem that will not easily dissipate.

A good and capable aircraft that may yet come more into its own now that production of the B757 is to cease. An increase in traffic will encourage operators to upsize rather than add frequency and the family relationship makes the type an obvious choice. Payload/range makes the -200 a viable alternative to the B737-800 and B757.

The A330-200 has encountered the sort of turmoil that would permanently damage perceptions for other types. Yet the A330-200 continues to be placed by operators eager to take advantage of the operating economics of the type in terms of range and capacity. The carriage of low yielding economy passengers is secondary to the facilities offered to premium economy and business class. The all-but-launch of the B7E7 represents an important competitor such that there will need to be careful assessment of residuals. In the meantime, the replacement of B767-300ERs will continue apace much to the chagrin of Boeing.

The security issues affecting the U.S. may, however, represent a sticking point given its use on the North Atlantic.

A type that continues to enjoy split personalities. At one time the VVIP market seemed to be the only source of demand, but since then placement with commercial operators has seen the return of alternative uses. Though figures of $100 million are bandied around for VIP configurations, those for commercial use are much more modest.

The type still has sufficient range to offer viable performance for operators seeking use on higher density routes. Though payload/range is a vital consideration in assessing values, not all potential operators require absolute range. However, compared to the higher gross weight B777-200ERs and A340-300s, there exists considerable competition.

After nearly 40 years the type still manages to eek out an existence. A hushkit is essential, though the original cost of the modification has long since been negated.

The -200HADV still has some merit, not least because its three-engined configuration affords operators considerable operating flexibility. Values have inevitably declined and are continuing to do so. Scrapping appears to be ever more prevalent and inevitable.

Values of the freighter version continue to decline, but not perhaps as much as they have done in the past. Operating costs in terms of fuel, maintenance and crewing costs may indeed be significant, but there continue to be supporters of the type around the globe where low capital cost and low utilization dictate its retention and acquisition.

The B737-200ADV may be more difficult to spot in the skies, but the type offers considerable operating capability for operators. The only viable alternatives in terms of capacity can cost ten times the values indicated below. However, maintenance issues remain a real cost item and D checks represent a turning point for many examples.

The -200HADV is still used by a wide variety of operators around the world for good reason. Capacity and performance are still valued but maintenance and fuel consumption less so. Some money can still be made by owners, particularly with respect to leasing. The freighter version has far greater merit such that heavy discounting of values may be premature.

The B737-300 analog is hardly the choice of airlines. Most operators, particularly outside the U.S., demand EFIS as standard as well as higher weight. As such, there could be a case for considering a divergence in values between the older and younger, analog and EFIS.

The -300 continues to face a tough time. While some of the excesses associated with distressed sale pricing have partially evaporated, there continues to be a constant supply of units on the market. However, it appears that more recently rentals have hardened, suggesting that demand has picked up slightly and offering the prospect of some stability for values.

The program for converting other B737-300s to freighters is now gathering pace. The QC retains merit in being able to convert from one to another, but usually operators prefer to keep the freighter configuration semi-permanent.

The B737-700 is enjoying considerable demand such that rentals and values are at least stable if not improving. There are even suggestions that production rates may increase – perhaps because rates for most other lines are continuing to drop. A good solid performer until such time as a successor is launched.

The -400 EFIS is managing to resist repeating some of the more noticeable declines that have been experienced in recent years. Lease rentals are said to be creeping upwards again such that $150,000 may not be unreasonable for non-U.S. aircraft.

The B737-800HGW continues to be a bright spot. Values are slightly up as are lease rentals, indicating substantial enthusiasm for the type. This is good news for investors, except those that may be suffering now due to lower revenues emanating from the weaker dollar. For buyers, it has never been a better time to buy. As with any popular aircraft, as soon as a replacement is announced, values will start to slip.

The -500 is managing to hold on to its market, at least to some extent. There has been no large-scale scramble to acquire the A318 or B737-600. Like other 100 seaters, by straddling two market segments it fails to meet the demands of either.

The problems facing the -600 are not dissipating. Instead, they are multiplying. There are effectively no deliveries left to be made and the existing limited operator base does not bode well for remarketing. It can only be hoped that the much more numerous -500 operators will tire of the existing equipment due to age or performance and seek a recognizable replacement in the form of the -600. In the meantime and contrasting with the -700 and -800, values are slipping.

The -200SF continues to provide valuable and relatively inexpensive service to a number of operators. However, the type has not been attractive for some years. In the space of a few short years, values have more than halved with further declines expected. Scrapping is a viable alternative once the D check looms large.

The market for the -400 remains tough. The United sale to Thai Airways appears not to be going through at the previously quoted $50 million. Instead, there is speculation that some examples are on the market for less. However, there has recently been a spate of acquisitions and returns to service that have reduced some of the considerable pressure on the type. Values continue to decline, a trend that is likely to continue, particularly for the younger examples.

The prospect of conversion to freighter looms. The existing main deck cargo door and ability to mix and match passengers and cargo, essentially a similar commodity for airlines, allows a measure of a premium. Values are continuing to fall.

The problems of Atlas continue to overshadow the -400F to the extent that the merits of the type are frequently overlooked. The -400F offers range and capacity and represents virtually the only B747 variant still in production. The arrival of the -400SF program, despite the absence of a nose loading door and extended upper deck, present particular problems for the production of -400F such that values are being adversely affected.

The ending of production will bring to a close much of the uncertainty that has surrounded the type over the last few years. With 1,000+ orders and a production span of 20 years, the type can be considered a major success, particularly as neither Boeing nor Airbus have come up with a direct replacement. Values may have tumbled in the recent past due to a variety of problems, but improved traffic levels may yet see a need for the type in the all important U.S. market. Yet, the U.S. majors continue to face problems such that further disposals may occur. In the meantime, values continue to decline.

A great aircraft that still offers exceptional performance. The type has been placed with a variety of carriers in recent months, albeit as a consequence of low rentals and mainly to new or expanding carriers. Values are expected to continue declining.

The -200PF now faces competition from the -200SF such that some of the premium that the production freighter may attract has been negated. The type has in some ways more merit than it used to; at current pricing it is of use to more than just the small package carriers.

The cancellation of the B757 program has had a marked effect on the -300. With now less than 60 units to be produced, values have had to be slashed by around 10 percent. The change in values represents one of the most significant overnight shifts since Sept. 11, 2001. Values are now virtually on a par to those of the -200 with residuals potentially being lower.

With no direct replacement the -200ER offers good performance but not enough to prevent a further fall in values. The type will, however, continue to be placed among a variety of second tier flag carriers that do not have the traffic to justify larger equipment. With conversions, supply may diminish to allow a micro market to emerge.

The B767-300ER has long been a major player among widebodies such that its increasing fall from grace represents a blow to investor confidence. The type may still be in production, but seemingly not for much longer. Boeing will seek to eek out a few orders until the arrival of the B7E7 but at a price that bears no relationship to the $84 million quoted for new aircraft a few years ago. In the meantime, the A330-200 will gain further ground at the expense of the -300ER such that a steady ebb and flow on the used market will become a permanent feature for the latter.

The -200ER remains a cornerstone of the Boeing product line, but the seeming absence of orders during 2003 may be a cause for concern in the context of Airbus orders. While the improvement in the market will favor the type, the problems being experienced by key U.S. operators will pose a problem for values. For the time being, values enjoy a measure of stability.

The new generation of 100 seaters has yet to emerge, such that the -300 still has a role to play. In common with the B717, B737-600 and A318, the size of the -300 is perhaps too large or too small depending on the type of operator. Age is now taking its toll, as is the RJ100.

A clearly marginalized product that that has little hope of a micro market emerging. There are now too many alternatives for values of the F70 to remain at current levels.
