COVID-19 is having a far-reaching effect on global economies, but that doesn’t mean that everything is shutting down. Instead, much business activity is being done via digital platforms, and that is especially true of the aircraft sales and leasing market.
That means business keeps going, and aircraft valuation needs are still extremely important in making the best aircraft arrangements for yourself and your organization in this volatile market.
In mid-March, the level of discounting from Current Market Values is significant with lease rates impacted to an even greater extent. All of this discounting can lead to increased amounts of aircraft sales worldwide as financial institutions treat aircraft as a toxic asset class.
