Entering a New Year allows us to reflect on the years that went before us. Therefore, this week’s Flight Friday looks back at annual utilization split out by aircraft class (narrowbody, widebody, regional jets, and regional turboprops) from 2019 to 2024. Total flight cycles in 2024 exceeded 2019, with 4% more cycles in 2024 than 2019. However, the makeup of the change is not consistent across all aircraft classes.

Typically, Boeing’s January deliveries take a beginning-of-the-year dip following the annual December surge the company prefers to help finish each year on a strong note. But thanks to a global downturn and several crippling problems that have affected the 787 and 737 programs, Boeing’s last...

This year, the number of Airbus A330s converted into freighters reached the half-century mark. While passing the milestone is significant for Elbe Flugzeugwerke (EFW), the Airbus-ST Engineering joint venture behind the A330P2F program, the number of the cargo aircraft now in service will look meager...

This week’s Flight Friday takes a close look at the Airbus A330 platform. The legacy A330, both A330-200 and A330-300, has seen a decline of over 200 aircraft in passenger service between 2019 and 2024, resulting in a lower number of monthly aggregated flights (cycles). During the Northern Hemisphere summer months, the legacy A330 was operating at around 75% of equivalent months flights in 2019. This is close to the percentage of the in-service fleet, which sits at approximately 80% of 2019 levels.

Revisiting and updating one of the most popular Flight Fridays in 2024, this week we again look at the CFM Leap and Pratt & Whitney PW1000G (GTF). At the beginning of 2023, both the Leap and the GTF had a similar percentage of monthly non-flying days. Note that non-flying days can be for several reasons and are not necessarily related to maintenance issues. However, the tale of the two engines has bifurcated since then.
