Parked aircraft analysis September 2004

The global total for parked jets as at mid–year was nearly 2,400 according to our analysis of ACAS data. This represents about 15% of global supply.

However, we estimate only just over 700 of these aircraft are likely to be returned to commercial passenger service. The LCC phenomenon has mopped up many of the surplus narrowbodies.

There have been signs of a firming in lease rates especially for modern narrowbodies but overhanging the whole aircraft market is the threat of liquidation of one or more the US majors, which would result in a new influx of used aircraft.
