Large Cabin Residual Values: The Devil and the Details
The diminution in large cabin business jet residual values is a “hot topic” in business aviation these days. How is this market segment different from the others?  How has the owner/operator community reacted to the downturn? What does this portend for future residual values?

Aircraft Maintenance Status and Its Effect on Value
A look at how “Maintenance Exposure” (an aircraft’s embedded or accrued maintenance) can affect its value and its “days on the Market” when listed for sale. This presentation will include how Hourly Maintenance Cost Programs should be viewed and valued, and what differentiates “good value” from simply a “low price” aircraft. Lastly, the presentation will cover how Asset Quality can be measured using a standardized scale, and why age and/or excessive flight hours do not necessarily negatively impact an aircraft’s maintenance condition.
Anthony Kioussis, President and CEO, Asset Insight

4:00
Managing Aircraft Residual Value Trends as a Finance & Leasing Company
What is the state of the union for jet financiers? Does financing availability impact jet values? This session will cover the jet value forecasting process used by financiers and how to get the best financing available.
