Hangar Queens—the very words bring misery to network planners. We previously shared our model

and decided to make it a subscriber-only model.

The model is over 1Gb, so it takes a while to load and run – please be patient.  There are five pages. Please click the double-headed arrow at the bottom right for optimal viewing on your monitor.

  • US airlines have an average cancelation rate of 1.7%
  • Regional aircraft have much higher flight cancellation rates
  • Even with a massive spike in 2024 for the MAX 9, at 1.3%, it is better than the 1.5% at Airbus
  • For Airbus, among its newer models, the A220-100 looks like a problem. The A330-900 is also a concern.
  • For Boeing, the problem is the 737-700 (73G), as one might expect, given its cycles and age. This, of course, speaks to the problem with the delayed MAX 7. Another issue is the 787-8, with the highest cancelation rate among twin-aisles.
