Hibernation phase fleet & utilization update – 29/05/20
May 2020 is set to be the first ever month in which Chinese airlines operate more passenger jet flights than their US counterparts.
Cirium tracking data shows that from Friday 1st May up to and including Wednesday 27th May, Chinese operators had completed nearly 200,000 flights with passenger-configured widebodies, narrowbodies and regional jets, compared with fewer than 170,000 for carriers based in the USA.
China has achieved this milestone because its airlines have recovered to an activity level approximately 35% below last year, whereas US operators remain 74% down as a result of the collapse in passenger demand due to the coronavirus crisis.
Meanwhile the global stored passenger jet fleet has declined slightly to just over 15,000, taking the overall proportion of inactive aircraft down a further percentage point to 57%.
