In November’s Issue
- Airbus has halved its inventory of engineless A320neo family “gliders” awaiting delivery, reducing the number from a peak of ~60 in June. Improved delivery performance for both Airbus and Boeing in October has led Cirium to slightly raise its full-year estimate to 1,400 shipments.
- This month’s focus: the regional aircraft market. Supply-chain bottlenecks persist across both turboprop and regional jet segments, but in positive news turboprop Market Values and Lease Rates have shown a strong global recovery.
- It is too early to confirm any significant impact from the US government shutdown on US traffic, as TSA data shows passenger throughput was up 4% in October. However, Cirium tracked-utilization data shows some evidence of reduced US flight-volume growth from late October into early November, attributed to staff shortages, operational disruptions, and mandated capacity cuts coinciding with adverse weather.
