Looking at the wider market, loosening travel restrictions is resulting in increased passenger demand in 2023, most notably in the Asia-Pacific market, following China’s relaxation of its Zero-Covid policy.

 

Just like last year, it looks like we’re on course for a summer of high passenger travel demand and we predict that with a lack of aircraft and staff to support them, we may see various bottlenecks appearing throughout the industry.

 

IBA’s shop visit forecast also indicates an increasing demand for MRO services as more engines come back online. This is predominantly due to many engine shop visits being deferred during the pandemic and now needing a performance restoration due to increased traffic.  As such, expected turnaround time will have to be increased due to a lack of supply and maintenance staff to support.

 

What’s happened to E-Jet market values?  

  • E-Jet engine Market Values remain volatile, whilst the CF34-8C has seen increased demand.
  • Lease Rates remain subdued for more mature engine types.

 

Looking across regional aircraft engine values, the E-Jet engine market remains volatile, whilst the CF34-8C has seen increased demand. PW1524G values are increasing year-on-year, having been at US$8.39m in 2019, rising to US$9.19m in 2023. For this aircraft, the market value is on par with base values at 99%.
