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.

Due to various market conditions, there are an increasing number of new build aircraft being moved from their final assembly facility to various storage locations prior to customer delivery. This is occurring while the aircraft still has a status of ‘on-order’. Continue reading “”

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.

During the peak period of commercial aircraft being placed into storage as a result of COVID-19 (March), we applied a “default” return to service of 30 September 2020. At that time, it was very much unknown what the lasting impact would be of the pandemic, but, from observing the fleet activities of the last few months, we have now started to review any remaining scheduled return to service dates. In reviewing the scheduled return dates until the end of the year, we have applied the following logic: Continue reading “”

As the Covid-19 Pandemic continues to impact the Aviation industry and in particular commercial passenger services we are making some further adjustments to how we track the ongoing usage of aircraft. Continue reading “”

As of June 1st 2020 Cirium will be making a further adjustment to best reflect the current in service and stored fleets. However, we will not be retrospectively applying the new storage and in service classifications to data prior to June 1st 2020.

Storage

Aircraft will now be reflected as entering storage if any of the following criteria are met: Continue reading “”
