Launch of B777X Allows Definition of B777X Residuals - & A350
The service entry of the B777X – yet to be renamed to perhaps the B797- may still not be planned for another seven years but with 259 orders and commitments for the new type then the residual values seem assured. There are always risks and rewards in being the first…

Residuals May Be Impacted by ME Demand Patterns
The Dubai Airshow provided the setting for a substantial number of widebody orders adding to the possibility that too many aircraft may have been ordered, thereby potentially leading to problems for values should deliveries not be made.

Aircraft Asset Assessment: A330-200

Residual Values of Smaller Capacity Widebodies Start to Suffer
Just as the demand for smaller narrowbodies has waned in the last decade, so too is it becoming increasingly apparent that the appetite for smaller widebodies is diminishing, forcing conservative residual values to be provided. While the A310-200/-300 and B767-200/-200ER both had reasonable success, in terms of orders at least,…

Few MD11s Remain in Service
With only 17 passenger MD11 remaining in service values of the MD11 have continued to decline as the type is increasingly withdrawn from passenger service and as operators lose interest in the type as a candidate for freighter conversion.
