Mid to End-of-Life
Each asset end of life scenarios will be dictated by factors that include market supply and demand, current technology versus replacement technology, spares market for components and parts and suitability for freight conversion. Whether an aircraft is suitable as a flyer to run off green time, for conversion to satisfy the cargo market or part-out to supply the component aftermarket, requires a deep understanding on a technical level and a strong commercial network to evaluate and execute exit strategies for investors.
Our Commercial Services include: Residual value management, reconfiguration, conversion, remarketing, sale or part-out.
