China, Hong Kong, Macau & Taiwan – Name alterations

 

Following feedback from some clients we have taken the decision to standardise our naming conventions for China, Macau, Hong Kong and Taiwan.

From this week these territories are now represented as follows:

  • China
  • Hong Kong SAR
  • Macau SAR
  • Taiwan

For those unaware, the “SAR” stands for Special Administrative Region.

As ever, if you have any queries about any data then get in touch at dataupdates@cirium.com

Name change for Mitsubishi MRJ

In line with the recent announcement, we have renamed the Mitsubishi MRJ to the Mitsubishi SpaceJet.

The sub series taxonomy has also changed to reflect the name with the MRJ90 becoming the SpaceJet M90.

Changes will show in Fleets Analyzer from Friday 14th June.

Split of ‘Business Jets – Bizliners’ Market Grouping

Based on customer feedback, we’ve decided to split the Business Jets – Bizliners Market Grouping into 2 distinct groups i.e.:

  • Business Jets – Bizliners – Widebody e.g. 747 BBJ, A330 ACJ
  • Business Jets – Bizliners – Narrowbody e.g. 737 BBJ, A319 ACJ

As part of this split, we’ve also moved additional aircraft types into the ‘Business Jets – Large’ Market Grouping e.g. Legacy 600/650, Challenger 850/870

Change to serial number format of Cessna 208 Caravan

Based on customer feedback and to bring consistency across the OEM in our data, we have recently added a “-“ character into all serial numbers for the Cessna 208 Caravan.

This means that all Textron Aviation (Cessna) types in our data have a dash as standard in the msn format.

Changes will show in Fleets Analyzer from 24th January.
