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.

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 Flight Fleets Analyzer from 12 September.
Based on recent meetings with the OEM, and to reflect the rebrand that was announced earlier this year, we are now updating the name of ‘Bell Helicopter Textron’ to be ‘Bell’ in our data. This change will be reflected in Fleets Analyzer from Monday 30 July.
| Location in taxonomy | Current value | New value |
| Aircraft Manufacturer | Bell Helicopter Textron | Bell |
In line with the recent news that the CSeries has been rebranded as the A220, we have updated our taxonomy.
The type is now called the A220 (CSeries) in Flight Fleets Analyzer. The CSeries name in brackets enables customers to continue using the old name in data searches if desired.
The subsequent subseries have changed accordingly:
These changes will be reflected in Flight Fleets Analyzer from tomorrow (Thursday 12 July).
We made a change to the Aircraft Usage categories today, removing ‘Business / Corporate / Executive’ and rolling it into ‘Business – Private Company Use’.
‘Business – Private Company Use’ will now be used whenever the aircraft is operated by a private business or corporation but does not conduct direct revenue-generating services such as air taxi, air charter, or airline services.
‘Business – Air Taxi/Air Charter’ will continue to include aircraft operated by air taxi (Part 135) companies.
Any aircraft operated by private individuals will be included under ‘Private Use’.
We have made a minor update to how we display an aircraft’s operator when we do not know the exact name.
From today, all these operators will change from being “Unconfirmed [country] Operator” to “Corporate [country] Operator”.
We have made this change based on customer feedback, and believe it better reflects the status of the aircraft operator. Often we have confirmed the country where it is based but either do not know or cannot show the company that operates it.
Formerly, these companies appeared as shown below:
From today they will appear as shown below:
