Lessor Profiles now available in Beta

Lessor Profiles (Beta) have been released and are currently available to users of Fleets Analyzer. These new profiles are similar to the recently released Airline Profiles.

The new profiles make it easy to see the percentage of a lessor’s fleet that is currently on lease, and also the fleet breakdown by owned vs managed.

In order to access Lessor Profiles, please see the information provided on the Fleets Analyzer homepage.

Engine taxonomy changes

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.

Updates over the Christmas period

Just a quick message to let you know that the UK based Data Teams will be taking a well-earned break over the Christmas period. From Monday 21st December through to Monday 4th January 2021 there will be minimal data updates across our Fleets, MRO, and Interiors datasets.

Despite the backdrop of COVID, it has been our busiest year ever for updates on the commercial, business aviation, helicopter, and military fleets:

  • We have created an additional 159,986 events in the Aircraft Histories
  • We have updated 234,416 aircraft in the database
  • We have added an additional 9,824 aircraft to the database

For the MRO and cabin interior data:

  • We have added 1000 MRO contracts
  • We have added 2500 more cabin interior records (passenger seating, IFE, Internet).

We wish all Cirium customers a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, and rest assured the team will be back raring to go in the new year.

A note on aircraft returning to service

Just a quick update on the situation with our commercial fleet details as we continue to react to the latest COVID market outlook.

Due to the ongoing uncertainty with this pandemic and air travel in particular, we have taken the decision to remove the “scheduled to return / enter service” event from all aircraft currently in storage, except for those where airlines have announced a planned return for their fleet or sub-fleets.

As always, we will continue to review on a daily basis the latest flight status of fleets as well as reflecting the very latest announcements and press statements from the airlines as they re-shape their fleet plans.

Customers will need to be mindful of the above change when using any future fleet date in Analyzer as the aircraft will now still show in storage in the coming years.

Why are there so many retirements during the current period?

When using the Projections tab within Fleets Analyzer, and showing Retirement events, you may notice a large number of events during the current period (month, quarter, year), along with a corresponding drop in the number of in-service aircraft.

When there is no known retirement date for an aircraft, under the Projections tab, a basic retirements model is used. The model uses the following rules: Continue reading “”
