Hello everyone,
After looking at the development twin and One corridor Passenger fleets during the year 2024, this blog is used Planespotters.net Data to evaluate how the regional aircraft fleet developed (sitting 100 or less passengers).
The return of stored aircraft in the United States of America
Unlike the previous year (where it shrunk), the individual discrimination fleet increased by 3.5 % (from 2,718 to 2,812). It is primarily produced by American transport companies that bring their smaller regional aircraft (CRJ200 and Erj-145) to service after reducing the foundations of Covid and experimental deficiency issues. There were also 59 vehicles without VIP: 34 Comac C909s, 24 Embraer E175s, and Yakovlev SSJ-100.
Below shows the development by the regional jet market (SMLL) reaches the volume of CRJ200/Erj-145, average a CRJ900 or E170/175, and large CRJ1000/C909/SSJ-100):
slice | 2023-12-31 | Delivery | Pension | 2024-12-31 | difference |
small | 650 | (77) | 727 | 77 | |
Medium | 1,673 | 24 | 42 | 1,655 | (18) |
big | 395 | 35 | 0 | 430 | 35 |
the total | 2718 | 59 | (35) | 2,812 | 95 |
Return to the CRJ200S service (27) and Erj-145s (50) explains why the small regional aircraft fleet has grown this year. Due to the lack of shipments of aircraft in this sector, American transport companies expect the larger E175, and the fleet would be expected to shrink forward.
The medium -sized regional aircraft fleet is shrinking due to CRJ900 retirement (47). E170/E175 delivery and negative pension (10 combined) have not been sufficient for compensation.
In the large regional aircraft sector, 14 C90S transition to new Chinese operators explains the reason for no net retirement. Each other plane in the part (SSJ-100, Fokker 100, CRJ100, Bae RJ100 and BAE 146-300) witnessed net retirement.
conclusion
With the exception of a major disaster, single passengers will grow in service and dual passengers in the coming years. It is difficult to predict the future of regional aircraft. While there are E175 and C909 (SSJ-100s is a question mark due to the existence of effort and sanctions in the ongoing Russia), the retirement of old aircraft will pick up, especially the smaller regional aircraft in the United States of America.
If the regional fleet increases at all, it will be at low rates of two numbers. Airlines in the United States of America are escalating from small regional aircraft (CRJ200 and Erj-145) to E175, while airlines outside the United States of America that can withstand the costs of manufacturing of original equipment manufacturers prefer to escalate to one small corridor, either E-Jet E2 or A220.
