A340-600 Values Continue to Fade
The demand for the A340-600 failed to advance when fuel prices exhibited a consistent rise leaving the market to the B777-300ER. The high price of fuel, which became evident more than four years ago, increased the fuel disadvantage suffered by four engined jets versus twins. Such is the cost saving…

A340-300 Values Still In Decline
The values of the A340-300 have been consistently falling for a number of years and there seems to be no means of preventing such a decline. The four engined configuration for medium sized widebodies has been overtaken by events such that values of existing units have been exposed by the…

Widebody Values Experience Modest Decline
The values of most widebodies have slipped as a result of weaker market conditions and the off peak season. While the values of the B777-300ER, newer A330-300s and the A380 are managing to hold firm, those of other types are not faring so well. The market for used widebodies has…

Values of A340-300 Unmoved by Novel Freighter Converison
The A340-300 market continues to wane not least because of the absence of a freighter conversion program that would have helped to reduce the level of availability as examples are retried from passenger service. A novel freighter conversion modification proposed for the A340 would offer an alternative to parting out.…

A330-300 Values Continue to Remain Stable
In contrast to most widebodies values of the A330-300, at least those built in the last few years, are remaining stable due to sustained demand. Airbus has managed to continue to sell A330-300s at a time when the market was in the depths of recession. At one time, the -300…
