As we enter the last month of 3Q25, here’s some insight on duopoly production. The chart below illustrates how duopoly production took off with the NEO and MAX. Adoption of these models, with their industry-leading fuel burn improvements, were embraced.

Co-Founder AirInsight. My previous life includes stints at Shell South Africa, CIC Research, and PA Consulting. Got bitten by the aviation bug and ended up an Avgeek. Then the data bug got me, making me a curious Avgeek seeking data-driven logic. Also, I appreciate conversations with smart people from whom I learn so much. Summary: I am very fortunate to work with and converse with great people.
