Expert Opinion
AINsight: Reactive Pricing
The current Covid-19 pandemic is not a reason to devalue business aircraft. We must get through the crisis before we can determine its effect on pricing.

It seems we have found ourselves today as an industry in a position that can only be considered reactive with respect to pricing of preowned business aircraft. We must be very careful not to consider it a new norm for valuations of aircraft, but rather a symptom of the current Covid-19 crisis.

I am referring to the type of offers being bandied around and the unfortunate misinformation being discussed regarding pricing of aircraft. We will likely not see a significant rise in value after this crisis, so doing our best to preserve the market at this time is crucial to the future value of aircraft.
