Aircraft lifecycles

The Aircraft Lifecycles feature provides fleet data for commercial aircraft types, showing the lifecycle status of the global fleet over time. The data is sourced from ch-aviation and updated on a monthly basis.

For a selected aircraft type, the chart displays the number of aircraft in each lifecycle state:

  • Active — currently in operational service

  • Inactive — temporarily out of service (e.g., stored)

  • Retired — permanently withdrawn from service

  • On order — ordered but not yet delivered

The data covers a wide range of aircraft families including Airbus (A320, A330, A340, A350, A380), Boeing (B737, B747, B757, B767, B777, B787), Embraer (E170/175, E190/195), ATR (ATR 42, ATR 72), and other regional and widebody types.

This information helps users understand fleet trends and anticipate demand for parts based on the lifecycle distribution of relevant aircraft types.
