Storage Definition Update: Commercial Aircraft

With 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:

  • 60 days for narrowbodies.
  • 90 days for widebodies.
  • Unless at a known storage site where a return off-lease or parting out may happen.

Categorisation Change

Dear customers,

We have updated all columns & filters containing ‘Country’ or ‘Countries’ to now display as ‘Country/Subregion’ or ‘Countries/Subregions’.

Please be aware this will have an impact on saved excel functions, which will need to be updated accordingly.
