The Cirium Airline Insights Review 2020

The first Cirium Airline Insights Review 2020 is live for download and includes The On-Time Performance Review 2020.

In this review we have produced a detailed analysis of aviation and air travel data supported by a very wide data lake – The Cirium Core. It is a retrospective on the past year. We analyze trends in every aspect of aviation, look at the impact of COVID-19 on the industry, including a scheduling system thrown into chaos and the outlook of 2021.

Our Cirium “think tank”, which includes board members from our On-Time Performance (OTP) Board and Cirium subject matter experts from market development, Ascend by Cirium and our data teams, delve into all angles of the industry with contributory insights about 2020 and the future.

Insights range from the path to recovery, what is happening to the world’s fleet, how the crisis may serve to advance ‘greener skies’ initiatives, to cabin cargo, trading dynamics for aircraft lessors and the return of the Boeing 737 Max.

We hope that it will become an annual tradition, just like our annual airline and airport report – The On-Time Performance Review.
