687 из 2167 на земле - это конечно успех
As of mid-October, airlines globally had 2,167 GTF-powered jets in their fleets, most being A320neo derivatives, Cirium shows. But of those, it lists 687 aircraft – or 32% of the fleet – as in storage, meaning they had not moved for 30 days. The remaining 1,480 jets were in service.
The in-storage figure of 687 aircraft has increased since August, when 647 of jets with GTF engines – 30% of the fleet at the time – were stored.
To be clear, Cirium does not specify why aircraft have not moved for 30 days, and some of the stored jets were likely pulled from service for reasons unrelated to GTF recalls, such as due to hail damage, the data provider notes.
But Cirium thinks the majority of stored GTF-powered jets are likely down for recall-related engine maintenance. That makes sense, considering Cirium lists only 63 jets with CFM’s competing Leap turbofans as in storage in mid-October, or 1.8% of the 3,589-strong Leap-powered fleet. Leap-1As are the other engine option available for A320neo-family jets, and Leap-1Bs are the only engine for the 737 Max.
