Conklin & de Decker Report is the most tailored and transparent aircraft comparison tool yet

CHICAGO, July 6, 2020 – Owners, operators and prospective buyers can now make more informed decisions when dealing with the purchase, operation, and disposition of aircraft, following a series of recent upgrades from Conklin & de Decker.

The Conklin & de Decker Report is an interactive comparison tool that enables users to compare up to three jets, helicopters, turboprops or piston aircraft and customize important factors such as annual utilization, fuel price, and third-party labor costs. Users can run detailed performance and cost comparisons based on actual usage and real-world operating costs, providing vital transparency when considering an aircraft for purchase.

Key additions to the enhanced Conklin & de Decker Report include the ability to:

  • Compare a custom set of operating parameters.
  • Break down cost per region, including North America, European and Asia-Pacific markets.
  • Change utilization assumptions for aircraft role (e.g., offshore, commercial, etc.)
  • Save customized Conklin Calculator assumptions for operating costs to compare different scenarios.
  • View overlays to compare front profiles and interior space for multiple aircraft.
  • Review a detailed breakdown of costs per hour, per nautical mile flown and per seat per nautical mile, with or without depreciation, to create a more detailed analysis.

“This truly is an ‘apples-to-apples’ benchmarking tool that is not only incredibly detailed for aviation professionals, but also digestible for new aircraft buyers. Our easy-to-view interactive report provides valuable insight into fixed and variable costs, with assumptions based on decades of Conklin & de Decker data. The enhanced level of personalization ensures buyers are fully informed about the various options available to meet their unique utilization requirements,” said Joy Nebel, president of Conklin & de Decker.
