EU-US openskies agreement

07 December 2014 - 09:04 PM

How come this openskies agreement is not in AE? It seems to be fairly easy to implement.
Main points are:
Any EU airline can fly from any point within the EU to any airport within the USA and return. Norway & Iceland are considered "EU" as well.
Any US airline can do so as well.
This agreement took action in 2008, so it might be included like the EU-openskies.

New calculation method of scrap value

17 September 2014 - 12:22 PM

Right now, the scrap price seems to decrease a bit every year. This decrease is relative to the age and original value of the plane. However, the demand of scrap parts plays an important role in determining the value of an aircraft. The demand is proportional to the amount of aircraft in service, to the amount of aircraft in the used market (which could potentially all be parted out) and obviously inversely proportional to the average age of the global fleet of the aircraft. The last factor is because old planes need more spare parts, which can come from these parted out / scrapped aircraft. This way, we may see a scrap value, which is higher than the sale value, and encourage scrapping old aircraft. New airplanes, for which a high demand remains, should obviously be worth more as a whole than in parts, encouraging their sale. What do you think?
