Strong Demand For Widebodies

The market for newer widebodies remains sufficiently strong as to allow values a measure of further improvement.

Quality Examples Gain Some Credibility

Traders of older aircraft are perhaps the most experienced and savvy of the industry; they have to be. The aircraft being traded can easily result in profit or loss after perhaps months of negotiation. The aircraft in production may be flying off the shelves but for those trading in virtual…
