Commercial Aircraft Base Location Improvements

Over the past 6 months, the data teams have been working hard to improve the coverage, accuracy and currency of our commercial aircraft base location data.

Cirium defines a Base as the operational location that the aircraft arrives / departs from most often, whilst also factoring in consistent overnight stops using flight activity data.

Our Data Research and Data Science Teams have been able to utilise internal tracking data to provide Base Location Data for over 32,000 commercial aircraft ( more than 90% of the fleet), with updates at least once per week to refresh the data with the latest information.

The fields can be added as columns into the Detail aircraft grid:

Some examples below:

Storage Definition Update: Commercial Aircraft

With the majority of Mainline and Aircraft, Crew, Maintenance & Insurance (ACMI) fleets returning to pre-2020 activity we have updated our rules for defining an In Storage status.

During the pandemic tolerances for a Storage status were reduced as the frequency and certainty of Storage events increased. As incidents of Storage are now decreasing, we have expanded the length of time a commercial aircraft must be parked before a Storage status is applied.

If a commercial aircraft exceeds these tolerances a Storage status will be applied. The parking tolerances for Commercial Fleets are:

  • 60 days for narrowbodies.
  • 90 days for widebodies.
  • Unless at a known storage site where a return off-lease or parting out may happen.

TU & Emissions Improvements

Please be aware of minor changes to TU & Emissions figures as we continually improve our methodology to bring you the industry’s most accurate data.

The data team at Cirium has updated the methodology which has a number of accuracy improvements resulting in changes to flight fuel and CO2 emissions figures.

Tracked Utilization also includes a number of data quality and coverage improvements resulting in more flights for more aircraft being tracked.

You can read more about our emissions methodology here.

Categorisation Change

Dear customers,

We have updated all columns & filters containing ‘Country’ or ‘Countries’ to now display as ‘Country/Subregion’ or ‘Countries/Subregions’. 

The change has been made to more accurately summarise the data these columns & filters represent. 

Please be aware this will have an impact on saved excel functions, which will need to be updated accordingly. 

Thank you for your cooperation.

5th Feb Carrier Name Changes

Here at Cirium we strive to ensure we provide customers with the most up to date and accurate data, part of that involves both minor changes that can happen daily and larger tranches. 

As part of this we have updated the airline carrier naming to make this consistent across Cirium products, to stay as accurate as possible and to stay aligned with the market.

Changes to hours and cycles – Projection tab

On Monday 29th May 5th June we’ll be making a small change to the rules that determine how we allocate hours and cycles to aircraft for which we receive no reported utilisation. These changes effect the Projection tab only.

On the Projection tab of Fleets Analyzer, if we have no reported utilisation data for an aircraft, we allocate hours and cycles via the following set of rules (shown in order of precedence):

Updates over the Christmas period

Just a quick message to let you know that the UK based Data Teams will be taking a well-earned break over the Christmas period. From Friday 23rd December through to Tuesday 3rd January 2023 there will be minimal data updates across our Fleets, MRO, and Interiors datasets.

We wish all Cirium customers a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, and rest assured the team will be back raring to go in the new year.
