Aircraft Values Are Rising Along With Asset Exposure
Asset Insight's latest market report shows the risk to asset values posed by rising maintenance costs for pre-owned aircraft.

Asking prices for categories of pre-owned business aircraft tracked by Asset Insight are at a 12-month high, having risen by an average of $70,000 over the first quarter of 2015 compared with the end of 2014. But in its Asset Insight Index Market Report for the first quarter, the U.S. company warned that rising maintenance costs and aging of the “for sale” fleet have increased the overall maintenance cost exposure for the available aircraft.
