• Boeing has begun restarting 737, 767 and 777 assembly after a near-three-month stoppage, but the ongoing disruption saw it deliver just 13 commercial aircraft in November. Cirium’s latest 2024 forecast expects around 1,100 Airbus and Boeing commercial deliveries, 10% below 2023.
• Airlines remain optimistic about the outlook for 2025 despite ever-present geopolitical risk and instability, highlighted by the recent overthrow of Syrian president Bashar Al-Assad.
• 2024 has been another year of significant improvement for values and lease rates of all aircraft classes except regional jets. Growth has begun plateauing for used single-aisle aircraft as lease rates hit an affordability ceiling. Twin-aisle value growth has continued, with potential for further improvement.
• This month’s focus looks back at 2024, assessing the year against expectations set in January.
