Aircraft Value
What determines aircraft resale value.
Aircraft value is influenced long before negotiations begin.
Maintenance and records.
Maintenance status, records, inspection timing and documentation quality influence buyer confidence and negotiation leverage.
Specification and configuration.
Avionics, interior condition, cabin configuration, connectivity and paint all affect market perception.
Market timing.
Supply, demand, comparable aircraft, regional buyer interest and transaction timing can significantly affect outcomes.
Positioning.
How an aircraft is prepared and presented can affect value as much as the aircraft itself.
