Value Trends

Value Trends™ is part of Cirium Ascend®, providing aircraft analytics to empower businesses around the world to make informed portfolio investments that correlate to managing financial risk, investment growth strategy and portfolio diversification decisions.

The market for commercial aircraft is more dynamic than ever. Values and Lease Rates are being driven by a rapid recovery in passenger demand with further complexities added by supply chain disruptions, labour shortages and a higher inflationary environment.

Monitoring and benchmarking aircraft value movements and resilience by aircraft type and variant by key value and liquidity metrics is therefore critical for both internal and external monitoring and reporting. Cirium Ascend Value Trends enables banks, lessors, and non-banking financial institutions to access historical, current and future values along with additional insightful liquidity metrics.
