| Aircraft that share a high degree of commonality within a family of products have significantly higher remarketing value than “stand-alone” types |
 Thanks to its design philosophy, the Airbus product line – which ranges in capacity from 100 to 525 seats – is unique in offering airlines the highest possible degree of commonality in airframes, on-board systems, cockpits and handling characteristics.
Airbus jetliners serve short, medium, long and ultra-long distance routes with the highest degree of operational economy and passenger comfort. The Airbus sales success – and the broad operator and geographic base of its aircraft – is proof of this.
Another important consideration for the value of used aircraft is their potential for freighter conversion, especially for efficient and cost-effective widebodies. Older A300s and A310s have made a successful transition from the passenger to cargo role, and are used by numerous airlines on short, medium and longer-haul operations.
All Airbus widebody aircraft (A300, A310, A330 and A340) have the same optimised fuselage cross-section, offering full interline capability, which creates good potential for freighter conversions at the appropriate time. In the future, A320s converted for cargo operations would offer the possibility for containerised cargo on both decks – a unique feature in the single-aisle aircraft category. |
