Latest IBA News…
The Aviation 100’ recognises the year’s most outstanding performers in the aerospace industry based on top ten rankings across strict criteria co-ordinated by Aviation News. The vote for ‘The Aviation 100 Appraiser of the Year’ is always hotly contested and this year IBA secured the majority of the vote, surpassing all other appraisal companies. Only those voters actually involved in the commissioning of and working with an appraiser/appraisal report had their vote counted to ensure a fair and balanced view. Analysis of these votes revealed the reasons why the industry believes IBA’s approach to be significant throughout 2011 and these included: simplicity and speed in formats that are easily digested and distributable; a knowledgeable and personal approach which includes ‘on the ground’ aircraft inspections by certified appraisers; as well as IBA’s Jet Values 2 online portal. Dr. Stuart Hatcher, Head of Valuations & Risk at IBA Group, comments “The fact that our customers understand and appreciate the breadth of our services and were prepared to vote for us is really uplifting for the team. It’s not just about the appraisal. IBA always provides the additional ‘colour’ to complete the picture. Thanks to our strong background on transactional analysis, aircraft and engine economics (in particular maintenance cost and reliability research), and our strong links with the OEMs, we are able to provide realistic and concise advice on all aspects of the deal. All appraisers are seeing an increase in demand for online appraisals and Jet Values 2’s ability to account for the premium or discount associated with certain aircraft specifications makes this tool central to the appraisal industry. “During 2011 we also decided to significantly expand the commercial team in response to growing demand, ensuring that the quality of our service was not compromised. The market is evolving and IBA is committed to maintaining the depth of resource to meet future needs.” Founded in 1988, IBA Group Ltd has grown to be one of the leading aviation consultancies in the world, concentrating on commercial and technical issues in the aerospace community. IBA’s methodology is based on the analysis of transaction data obtained from internal records and in-house knowledge, as well as regular interactions with the trading community. With continually updated market information IBA is able to conduct comprehensive and in-depth analysis for each aircraft model to provide a specific depreciation profile for each asset. This differs greatly from the majority of competitors, who currently adopt a more generic valuation approach. |

IBA recently contributed to the July edition of Low Cost Regional Airlines Business magazine. The article entitled “A New Lease of Life” looked at the remarketability of regional aircraft and demand for older models - especially turboprops. IBA’s Commercial Director Owen Geach was quoted extensively. |
