  • Expiring Exports

    Starting from 1 September 2018, any exports older than 30 days will be removed from our servers and will no longer be available for download.

    Why are you making this change?

    The Export page (where your exports are available for download) was built because some large exports can take a few minutes to generate, so a page was required where these could be made available for download. No rule was put in place to remove these exports after the initial download, so over time we’ve accumulated a vast quantity of exports, some of which are very large in size. In order to reduce the burden on our infrastructure, we’ve taken the decision to remove any export that’s older than 30 days. This will start from 1 September.  On that date, any export generated prior to 2 August will be deleted from our servers and will no longer available for download.

    Do I need to do anything?

    If you’ve been creating exports and for some reason have not downloaded them, then you should go to your Exports page and download all the ones that you wish to keep. You should do this before 1 September.

  • CSeries taxonomy change to A220

    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:

    • CS100 becomes A220-100 (CS100)
    • CS300 becomes A220-300 (CS300)
    • CS100/300 becomes A220 (CS100/CS300)

    These changes will be reflected in Flight Fleets Analyzer from tomorrow (Thursday 12 July).

  • Changes to Aircraft Usage definitions

    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’.
