Upgrade Plans for P&W GTF Affects A320neo Values
A significant improvement in the fuel efficiency of the Pratt & Whitney PW1100G powering the A320neo family raises the issue of whether the upgrade should warrant a premium or whether values of the first examples should be discounted.

Values of Older Engines Keep on Falling
There is a generally held perception that engines hold their value much better than the airframes that they power. This is a correct assumption. However, engines need continual investment for their value to be held and there comes a time when the operator base of installed engines contracts to a…

Short Term Improvements More Influential On A380 Residuals Than A380neo
The advances made in engine design over the last few years has increased the impetus for re-engining the A380 but Airbus is naturally delaying any such development.

B757 Replacement Unlikely to Impact Residuals
The speculation surrounding the possible development of a replacement for the B757 has intensified but with Boeing focussing on the B737MAX, B777X and B787-10 there appears that there will be little possibility of anything emerging for at least another decade, if then.
