经济学人:空中巨无霸A380的贬值(2)

来源:经济学人 编辑:Melody   可可英语APP下载 |  可可官方微信:ikekenet
  
  • Valuations of A380s have tumbled accordingly.
  • A380飞机的估值也相应下跌。
  • The oldest models have been flying for 12 years or so.
  • 最老的型号已经飞行了12年左右。
  • At that age, aircraft have typically lost half their value.
  • 这样机龄的飞机价值通常会下降一半。
  • Given each costs $250m to 300m to buy when kitted out, airline accountants might have hoped for $125m.
  • 考虑到每架A380的购买成本在2.5亿至3亿之间,航空公司的会计师们可能希望价格会在1.25亿美元。
  • But even before covid-19 appraisers suggested between $75m and $100m.
  • 但甚至是在新冠肺炎之前,评估师们建议价格在7500万美元至1亿美元之间。
  • Now some A380s are fetching half what they used to be worth, says Usman Ahmed of Aircore Aviation, a consultancy.
  • 咨询公司Aircore Aviation的乌斯曼·艾哈迈德表示,现在一些A380飞机的价格已经是过去价值的一半。
  • The slump is borne out by the accounts of investment funds that own planes and lease them to airlines.
  • 拥有A380飞机并租赁给航空公司的投资基金账户证明了这一点。
  • A fund called Doric Nimrod Air One recently cut the accounting value of its sole asset, an A380 leased to Emirates, by 51% in dollar terms.
  • 一家名为Doric Nimrod Air One的基金最近将其唯一资产——一架租给阿联酋航空的A380飞机——的会计价值以美元的基准下调了51%。
  • The share prices of listed A380-owning funds suggests the residual values of the planes once the leases expire are between $10m and $15m, says Matthew Hose of Jefferies, an investment bank.
  • 投资银行Jefferies的马修·霍斯表示,A380上市基金的股价表明,一旦租赁到期,飞机的剩余价值在1000万美元至1500万美元之间。
  • Given regular maintenance overhauls of each of the A380's four engines can cost $6m,
  • 考虑需要定期维护检修A380飞机的四个引擎,其中每个需要花费600万美元,
  • existing motors in decent nick are, in principle, worth at least that much.
  • 原则上讲,状态不错的A380现有型号的发动机至少值这么多钱。
  • Add the landing gear, also in principle reusable, and that would make the airframe itself worthless.
  • 加上起落架,原则上也是可重复使用的,这将使机身本身一文不值。
  • It also signals that even the spares—which in modern planemaking are always aircraft- specific and useless for other models— may not have much value.
  • 这也预示着,飞机零件(在现代飞机制造中,零件通常是飞机专用,对其他型号无用)没什么价值。
  • Struggling operators sometimes convert unwanted passenger jets into cargo planes.
  • 苦苦挣扎的运营商有时会将不需要的客机改装成货机。
  • But Airbus never launched a freight version of the A380, so the conversion would be tricky.
  • 但空客从未推出过货运版的A380,因此改装难度很大。
  • No scheduled carrier that flies the aircraft already is keen on more, even at knock-down prices.
  • 目前还没有一家有定期航班的航空公司热衷于购买更多的飞机,即使是在低价的情况下。
  • The first A380 to fly, which came into service in 2007, has already been sent to the scrapheap.
  • 2007年投入使用的第一架A380飞机已经被送去了垃圾堆。
  • More are headed that way.
  • 更多的A380正在走向弃用。
