• Cirium’s EmeraldSky analytics show the airline industry’s global CO₂ flight emissions rose 7% year-on-year in January, broadly in line with the annual growth in tracked flight hours.
• This month’s focus analyses 2024 Airbus and Boeing delivery data. Asia-Pacific and China were the only world markets to see year-on-year increases, aided by the region’s ongoing transition to growth and restart of 737 Max shipments to China.
• Total tracked hours flown by passenger jets remain 6-7% ahead of the previous year, according to Cirium utilisation data. In the cargo sector, jet freighter tracked hours increased by 8.5% during 2024, amid robust demand growth in this market.
• Values and lease rates had plateaued in late 2024 but there are signs of further increases for new production aircraft and room for improvement in other categories, driven by continued escalation and supply shortages.
