  • ISHKA´s five-year aircraft and lease rate current market values April vs November 2023

• The Company owns two B787-8s

• Values are in respect to B787-9 aircraft as there is little date available on the B787-8 variant

• Although the charts reflect 5-year- old aircraft, it might be some guideline and indicates that values are currently increasing after the strong drop due to the pandemic

• Lease rates for this type remain stable since April 2023 - contrary to most other aircraft types
