ICF launches online aircraft appraisal platform
ICF's truebook™ aircraft valuation platform that will give users real-time access to values and lease rates of current and out-of-production aircraft and engines using ICF's unique appraisal methodologies. The truebook platform is powered in association with CAPA and CAPA Fleets and will help users reach value insights quicker through search-by-serial number functionality.
"Obtaining an accurate aircraft appraisal is crucial for all members of the aviation finance community--lessors, investors, and airlines--to ensure a fair acquisition or sale; traditionally, it requires time-consuming research and manual data collection to derive an accurate number that accounts for both commercial and technical aspects of an aircraft," said Stuart Rubin, vice president of ICF's Aircraft Practice. "As stakeholders require more data, quicker, before completing transactions, truebook combines ICF's rigorous methodology with the speed and cost effectiveness of a digital platform. We are delighted to be partnering with CAPA in this exciting development."
