“Discipline and keeping a cool head is vital because if people panic and lease the airplane or sell the airplane at knock-down rates for an extended period of time, it will be harder for the residual value of that asset to recover,” Aercap’s (N:) Aengus Kelly told the Airline Economics aviation finance conference in Dublin.
Aercap has 100 Boeing 737 MAX jets on order.
“The brand is not in a great place right now and what we need to do is recover that brand operationally and then … be absolutely disciplined when it comes to placing the aircraft,” Kelly said.
