FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
ARLINGTON, VA (August 26, 2004): Morten Beyer & Agnew (“MBA”), announces the semi-annual release of its mid-year 2004 Future Aircraft Values (“FAV”) Jet Transport and FAV-C Cargo covering the Current and Future Base/Market Values for 2004-2024 for over 100 types of aircraft. Subscribers to all of MBA’s FAV series of value books will have complimentary access to MBA’s newest product “eFAV: on-line valuation tool.”
“MBA continues to monitor aircraft availability and value stabilization as domestic US bankruptcies continue to loom on the horizon. In particular older 737s continue to see some improvement, along with the 767-300ER,” Robert Agnew, President & COO. “Should Delta file for bankruptcy we can definitely expect some value diminution even in strong aircraft like the 737-700 and –800 series.”
MBA expects to release the mid-year 2004 FAV-R covering Regional aircraft within the next month.
Printed versions of all publications will be available by early September.
