From our “Market Dynamics” section, we are seeing better deal i.e. days on market are rising. the market cheer as we move further and further into a seller’s territory with the percent of the fleet for sale decreasing and prices rising. But Another “right moment’ is the arrival of the Falcon 6X which is on our “Mood & Intentions” survey highlights optimism flattening out and the covers of this edition of Asian Sky Quarterly and featured as the purchase intention subsequently diminishing. “Upcoming Aircraft”. Falcon’s 2000 series of aircraft also gets our scrutiny in the “Pre-Owned Market Spotlight”. The “Country Profile” this The latter first. Optimism has flatten out because frankly it couldn’t climb time is of the Indochina region including Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar & much higher. It has been on a constant rise since 2Q/3Q 2016 and now Vietnam. And, as always, we are featuring a number of interviews, this sits at around 90% for most areas in the Asia Pacific region. Optimism time of Hironori Abe from Setouchi Holdings Inc, Violet Kwek from Global was also overall pulled down by a poor mood in the quarter from Jet Capital and ASG’s own Alan Hung. Australia which, as one can see from our “2017Q4 Economics” section, can be attributed to falling GDP.

The reason I take such a flippant view of the “Mood & Intentions” this time is because of the former. As you can see from our “Market Dynamics” section everything seems to be going right at the moment. The over supply that existed in the market is getting burned down further now – good aircraft at good prices are selling – and with less supply, Sincerely, asking prices are firming up and even increasing.
