From next week (WC 23rd) the 25 members of the UK based data team will be taking a well earned break to enjoy the festive period.
During this time there will be limited fleet data updates, but rest assured, we will be back in early January to catch up with all the changes.
We wish all Cirium customers a very merry Christmas and a happy New Year!
Best Wishes
Cirium Data Team
Due to the recent change to the definiton of Build Date, we are changing our definition of age.
Age is calculated as the duration since the date of the aircraft’s first flight, if we have no recorded first flight, then we use the delivery date.
Age will be calculated as the duration since the Build Date. Build Date is taken as the delivery date, unless the aircraft’s first flight was more than 12 months prior to delivery date, in this scenario Build Date is taken as the first flight date.
These changes will take effect from 20th January 2020.
For more information on how we determine the Build Date, please see the article on the Cirium Thought Cloud.

For all the attention of helicopter customers.
Based on market feedback at Heli Expo 2019 and Paris 2019, we are conducting a thorough review of our order, option and LoI statuses for civil helicopters.
As many of you will be aware, the oil and gas industry has suffered a slowdown in recent years, and there’s evidence of operators entering Chapter 11, and lessors/operators potentially merging. Due to the many changes in this sector, we have taken the opportunity to review the backlog numbers.
Due to this review, you will notice many older dated firm orders will now show as cancelled, and many options and LoIs will show as cancelled/lapsed.
This data review will be completed and available in product from Monday 1st July 2019.
