Aviation consultancy IBA Group has launched an online platform, IBA iQ Trends, for investors, lessors, airlines and Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs).
Unlike other static aviation and airline data sets, IBA iQ Trends combines key economic data and world events in real time, with historical, current and future values and lease rates for commercial aircraft and engines.
Dr Stuart Hatcher, chief operating officer, explained: “We believe that the introduction of live market and economic data is a game changer. IBA iQ Trends seamlessly integrates world and economic events with data on aircraft fleets, age analysis, values and lease rates, OEM production schedules and aircraft list.
“When you also add in our own primary data and intelligence gathered from decades of undertaking appraisals, technical assessments, aircraft and engine valuations and fleet management, the iQ Trends platform offers our customers a user friendly platform to access IBA’s expertise and opinion on market performance, trends, risk and investment opportunities.”
Users can create interactive, up to date pictures of assets to inform strategic planning, predict likely market direction and test factors which could influence the value and successful management of their portfolios.
