Aircraft Asset Assessment: B747-200B

Market Presence. When comparing the B747-200B and A380, the chasm in terms of technology becomes all too evident.

Aircraft Asset Assessment: B737-700

Aircraft Asset Assessment

Market Presence. The development of the B747-8I improves the operating economics of the type. Airbus indicate that the A380 currently offers a 15-20 percent efficiency improvement over the B747-400.

Values of the -8I Continue to Tumble

The values of the -8I are sorely exposed to the vagaries of the market and as such have continued to deteriorate such that production may not last to the end of the decade. The market for the B747-8I, given the 51 orders and 35 deliveries, remains much more restricted than…
