"Aircraft Retirement and Storage Trends"

"In September 2012, Avolon published a White Paper1 that analysed aircraft retirement trends to determine whether there was any evidence to support a view that aircraft economic life was getting shorter. The conclusion was that retirement behaviour and economic life expectations had both stabilised over the past decade or more, with the average age at which commercial jets are retired holding steady at around 26 years and a stable outlook."

PERFORMANCE ANALYSIS OF EVOLUTIONARY HYDROGEN-POWERED AIRCRAFT

whitePaper | January 26, 2022

Aviation is a hard-to-decarbonize sector of the transport industry due to the stringent mass and volume requirements for aviation fuel. The high energy content of liquid jet fuel, both per unit mass (specific energy) and per unit volume (energy density), makes it difficult to replace. Significant emphasis has been placed on drop-in Sustainable Aviation Fuels (SAFs) to reduce emissions without sacrificing aircraft performance. But SAFs emit carbon dioxide (CO2) when combusted (carbon capture during production reduces life-cycle emissions) and their uptake has fallen short of expectations due to their high cost, limited supply, and concerns about the land-use impacts of biofuels.
