Durchschnittsalter kommerzieller Flugzeuge

12.5

years average age

The average age of the global commercial aircraft fleet is approximately 12.5 years, with many aircraft flying well past 20 years.

Erläuterung

Aircraft are designed for 20 to 30 years of service, though some fly much longer with proper maintenance. Airlines in developed markets tend to operate younger fleets for fuel efficiency, while carriers in developing regions often purchase second-hand aircraft. The COVID-19 pandemic accelerated retirements of older aircraft types like the Boeing 747 and Airbus A380.
