According to new analysis from Cirium today, there has been an uptick in global passenger flights over the last week – as Asia-Pacific countries such as China begin to relax travel restrictions.
On April 28, 2020, a 4 percent increase in scheduled passenger flights flown was recorded when compared to April 21, 2020. This marks the first positive value for the company’s ‘seventh-day-prior’ rolling indicator since March 5, 2020.
Cirium analysis also shows that 130 passenger jets were added to the active global fleet since yesterday’s update. This takes the overall proportion of stored aircraft down to approximately 62 percent of the global fleet, or 16,300 aircraft.
