McDonnell Douglas MD-11F: Lufthansa Cargo supposed to retire in 2020 but hanging on short term due to
Covid-19 demand. 5X and FDX might be its saving grace as long term anchor operators, but little consolation
value wise.
Airbus A300-600F: Temporary re-activations to cover Covid-19 at FDX but short term. Future at DHL but
somehow overshadowed by Boeing 767 and the potential for much cheaper Airbus A330 P2F feedstock.
Boeing 747-400BDSF/BCF: Plenty of activity to support Covid-19 – just log on to Flight Radar 24 to see; but
once this spike in activity is all over (whenever that happens); do the aircraft just go back to a dormant life in
the desert? We think that is the probable outcome.
Boeing 737-300F: An ageing fleet and Boeing 737-400F the preferred option now. Still, some ex WN
aircraft being converted and still a very influential aircraft within its market segment.
Boeing 747-400F/ERF: A heroic old aircraft battling Covid-19 and a huge contributor to the “war effort”;
but what happens after Covid-19 and the downturn takes hold. Remember what happened to these in
2009? Then again, look at what you get for your 113 tonne capability. A Boeing 777F is far more
expensive and can’t nose load while a Boeing 747-8F is way too expensive in comparison. Vulnerable to
downturns but what a superb aircraft.
Boeing 767-300F / 300ERBDSF: FDX seems to love the new variant and will no doubt keep it going for a
long time. But for the money, the converted freighters seem to be just the right fit in that mid capacity
sector and it is obvious by the dominant fleet size, that this is the aircraft of choice within its sector.
Freighters are long term investments and we don’t see circumstances for these changing too quickly.
Boeing 737-400F: Despite the gradual shift towards the larger and newer technology -800SF, for less
than half the outlay, you get an only slightly smaller aircraft, and actually, not that much older one when
you take a late build 400SF versus earlier 800SF. A lot of -400s were only recently converted and there
are still some left to do; so given the long term investment in –P2Fs, are these going to wither away just
because there’s an -800 round the corner – we don’t think so.
Boeing 737-800SF: Invariably this will become the sub Boeing 757 capacity freighter of choice as the
feedstock is there in drips and drabs and growing, is getting sensibly priced, and moves the game
forward in terms of technology and efficiency. A strong candidate as the freighter of choice moving
forward.

Which aircraft are more secure ?
Airbus A321-200P2F: It seems clear that this will become a key player around that Boeing 757 size
category. There was a lack of feedstock before Covid-19, and there still is; it’s not as though the airlines
are suddenly deciding they want rid of their Airbus A321-200s after-all.
Boeing 777-200F: Large aircraft fall prey of dreaded overcapacity when downturns occur; but we look
at it this way; they still need some capacity; so where MD-11Fs will prove unpopular, and some Boeing
747s might have to temporarily or permanently “furlough”, the Boeing 777F will just happen to be in
that comfortable position where it remains desirable, efficient and highly capable; what else will do the
job and goodness knows what will replace it. Nice position to be in!
The once mighty Boeing 777-300ER finally looks as though values of earlier aircraft may just come under
some downward pressure.
Prior to Covid-19, this is how IBA would have priced up a 2005 delivered passenger aircraft for a 2023
emergence from – P2F.

At 2023 pricing if Boeing 777-300ER values face even more pressure just like Boeing 777-200ER
values did in 2015

At 2023 pricing if Boeing 777-300ER values face even more pressure just like Boeing 777-200ER values
did in 2015 BUT Boeing 777-200F Values also fall below IBA’s forecast numbers as well

2009 Boeing 777F N/A N/A N/A 103 tonnes $67,500,000 45,700 7,400 2044
IBA’s initial opinion is that a 2023/2024 converted Boeing 777-300ERBDSF would have a
lease rate range of between US$ 680,000 and US$ 720,000. (In 2023)
Please then consider this; IBA forecast that a 2009 Boeing 777-200F will have a lease rate
range of between US$ 770,000 and US$ 820,000 in 2023; Assuming our forecast is right and
that the Boeing 777-200F rates don’t reduce further, that doesn’t allow a lot of room for
manoeuvre between one aircraft with about 2/3rds the hours and cycles, and is still more
capable.
