Cirium is pleased to announce the release of fleets data for the Thrush Commander utility aircraft. This iconic platform, primarily known for its agricultural applications, traces its lineage back to 1956 with the introduction of the original Snow S-2 piston-engine model. Over the decades, the design evolved through various iterations, including the Ayres Thrush, and has become a cornerstone of aerial application operations worldwide.
Continue readingCirium has decided to reclassify the Embraer E195 E2 in its fleets and values database from the existing “Regional Jet” aircraft class to “Narrowbody”.
There are strong arguments to classify the aircraft in either category, but on balance, we recognise that those in favour of Narrowbody (payload-range performance, typical installed seats, markets within which it typically competes) now outweigh those which initially caused us to classify it as a regional jet (four-abreast cabin, predominantly regional airline operator base, limited cargo volume).
This change applies only to the E195 E2 and will be effective from Friday 13 June. If you have created Saved Searches with the E195 E2 included or involving those market groupings, please check them and update if necessary.
Key Changes:
Cirium is making a couple of tweaks to event descriptions based on market feedback.
| Current Version | New Version |
| Delivered (hand over) | Delivered |
| Delivered (hand over) – parked | Delivered – parked |
If you have created Saved Searches with any of the events listed above, please check them and update if necessary.
These changes will be made effective from Wednesday 11th December.
Cirium is making a series of updates to our aircraft taxonomy to keep our data up to date with market feedback and also for consistency across our datasets.
If you have created Saved Searches with any of the types listed below, please check them and update if necessary.
These changes will be made effective from Wednesday 20th November.
Continue readingOver 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.
Continue readingWith 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:
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.
Work will commence from Monday 15th July to create a common name for airports across all Cirium products, as well as consistency in all station variances such as helipads, airfields, air bases etc.
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.
What you can expect to find here: tips for users to get the most out of Fleets Analyzer, tricks for power users who are already in the know, product updates including sneak peeks and new features, and news about new data sets and taxonomy changes.
