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.

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.

Based on market feedback from customers, this weekend we will be making a number of changes to our engine taxonomy. For those customers who have Saved Searches that include engine models, you may need to update your Saved Searches after the changes have been made to ensure that your Saved Searches still work as expected. A full list of changes is included in the Excel file linked below.

To standardise our taxonomy for the A330 type, we have amended the Master Series for the A330neo types from the generic A330neo to the relevant A330-800neo and A330-900neo.
Please be aware that any Saved Searches that include the A330neo as a filter option may need to be updated.
Based on customer feedback, we are making a series of OEM name changes to bring our data up to date with our policy of reflecting the current support OEM. These name changes will be implemented in Fleets Analyzer from 8 July.
IMPORTANT: if you have Saved Searches that contain the aircraft types or manufacturers listed in the table below, then please open your Saved Search (after 2pm 8th July – UK time) and update if necessary.

Based on customer feedback, we have introduced a new type of ‘usage’ to our database. The new usage is ‘Spares Use / Parts Reclamation’.
This usage will be applied to aircraft when those aircraft have been acquired by a company/military air arm purely for spares use (sometimes referred to as “non-fliers” or “donor” airframes).
This new usage will always be applied to aircraft that are in storage, and would typically be followed by a retirement event.
This new usage will initially only be applied on our business aviation, helicopter and military datasets, as well as military operated examples of types in our commercial dataset.
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.
