DVB AirApp

Qualitative data combined with a short description shows you everything that is important about an aircraft from a banker’s point of view.

An overview of all relevant western built commercial transport aircraft currently in operation, written from a specialist financier’s perspective. Combines aircraft characteristics with fleet statistics and an opinion of the main strengths and weaknesses of each aircraft type.

With this DVB AirApp (AirApp), DVB Aviation Research presents an overview of commercial airliners. The AirApp is intended to be used for reference purposes only.

The information included for each aircraft is divided in a data section and a short description of the aircraft type. For each aircraft type, the AirApp presents the specifications that determine in which market segment the aircraft operates. As airlines place orders based on an aircraft’s range and payload, the AirApp displays for every aircraft the range, seat count and cargo load (for freighters) as provided by the manufacturers’ marketing material. The AirApp also presents information about the first flight date indicating the age of technology applied in the aircraft, and the engine choices available. Besides the aircraft specifications, the AirApp introduces market information such as the amount of aircraft in service, on order, stored and the number of operators. In case the aircraft is no longer in production, the last delivery date is also mentioned.

The quantitative data is completed with a short description. This part generally contains the background of the subject aircraft type, some technical and/or operational characteristics complemented with market information and possibly information on the market potential for freighters (both production and converted freighters). Any qualitative statements should be regarded as DVB Aviation Research’s opinion of the type, which is not necessarily the official opinion of DVB Bank SE.

DVB Aviation Research hopes that the AirApp proves to be a useful instrument for a better and broader understanding of the assets from a financier’s point of view.
