Briefing

What Hype is tracking

  • Dismantling young A320neo, 737 MAX and A220 aircraft to recover engines and components shows how shortages are limiting the usable supply of parts, even as airlines seek newer, more fuel-efficient fleets.
  • Airbus and Boeing’s multi-year backlogs mean supply constraints affect both near-term fleet availability and the pace at which airlines can replace older aircraft.
