Current Market Strength of 50 Pre-Owned Aircraft Models: Winter 2017
Monday, February 12, 2018 at 3:49PM CMS represents an aircraft’s current strength in the market. An A+ rating indicates the aircraft is enjoying a very firm market.

It is valid only at Marketline’s effective date of release — Dec. 1, 2017, in this case. See the chart below.
