An aircraft’s airworthiness certificate is considered valid if the appropriate maintenance is performed and inspections are made on the aircraft. In theory, an aircraft can be flown forever as long as the owners maintain it well and perform the necessary inspections. The only caveat to this is manufacturer recommended service life for an airframe, which can be extended.

Aircraft age

Aircraft age is difficult to define. It is often referred to as simply the chronological age of an aircraft, however, this excludes many important factors. In fact, aircraft age is a combination of the chronological age, the number of flight cycles, and the number of flight hours.

Chronological age is particularly relevant for corrosion, as the effects of corrosion increase over time. The effects of wear on components will also increase over time. Flight cycles3 will cause fatigue in aircraft wings, pressurised sections, and other structural components. The number of flight hours also cause fatigue and so is another important measure of an aircraft’s age.

Only aircraft that are active with this airline are included in this report, they do not include all outstanding orders as reported by aircraft manufacturers.
