Aircraft Values Stay Predictable
By Carl Janssens, ASA | Chief Appraiser | Penton Aviation
It’s hard to believe, but 2015 is already nearly halfway into the history books. For business aircraft transactions, it has been a steady course, fair weather kind of activity. Nothing negative, transactions are occurring. Values, for the most part, continue to show depreciation. The question of when are values going to stabilize appears to offer its own conclusion by what is revealed through the transparency in recent sales data. The answer: “never.”
Stock Prices Soar While Pre-Owned Aircraft Prices Remain in Ground Effect
By Carl Janssens, ASA | Chief Appraiser | Penton Business Aviation Network
Business aircraft pricing in the pre-owned market appears to be soaring in ground effect.
The good news is that sales are occurring while, on the cloudy side, values, at best, try to maintain a flat trending posture.
Pre-owned aircraft pricing isn’t keeping time with commerce. From the sea, the West Coast ports of entry look like long-term parking lots for sea freighters: Lots of stuff awaiting their turn for deporting goods from the backlog created by labor disputes. Then, try driving on any Interstate. The amount of commerce on the move via countless eighteen wheelers is remarkable. And, don’t be caught waiting for a delayed flight during FedEx’s rush hour in Memphis. You might be there awhile. While all of this anecdotal evidence would indicate a more robust economy for pre-owned aircraft values, such is not the case.
