§ Largest operator of type

The following is an overview of the types of airliners operated by major airlines of the world. Each block represents a "subfleet", that is one aircraft type operated by one airline.

Editor notes: All information is based on Wikipedia articles. Only passenger aircraft with 90 or more seats that are currently in operation are shown, except where noted. To be included on this list, an airline must be operating (or ordering) at least 20 of such aircraft. To be considered "Phasing out", the Wikipedia article must state that the operator intends on phasing out or selling the entire subfleet within 2 years.

Formatting notes: Many abbreviations are used in identifying aircraft types. The single number in the last row of the header indicates the specific versions of each aircraft family. For Boeings, an underlined number indicates an ER version and an underlined and italicized number indicates an LR version.

US operators are clearly defined by two groups, legacies and low-cost carriers (LCCs). Other than Alaska, the legacies operate diverse fleets with a focus on home-turf Boeings. But the LCCs concentrate on either the A320 or 737 families, with the A320 family being the preferred narrowbody. No US carrier operates the A300/A310, A340, or A380 families, while orders for the A330neo and 777X are lacking. The majority of the worldwide MD-8x/717 fleet is operated within the US.

Region Summary ‡ ‡ ‡ ‡ ‡

South American carriers have a preference for Airbus aircraft, and the only Boeings operated in this region are the 737, 767, and 787. Additionally, the A380 is not operated in this region.

Avianca and LAN/TAM have aligned their multi-airline groups to utilize similar aircraft, mostly the A320 family and the 767.

Western Europe edit

Within Europe, carriers are generally grouped in three categories: Flag carriers, low-cost carriers, and "leisure" carriers.

European carriers clearly favor Europe's own Airbus, but multiple Boeing fleets are still operated, especially by non-flag carriers. Low-cost carriers in Europe (almost) exclusively operate narrowbodies, much like the in United States. Overall, orders are generally split between Airbus and Boeing.

Eastern Europe edit

These generally include countries formally part of the Soviet Union.

Unlike Western Europe, Eastern Europe does not appear to be as influenced by home-turf rules. Airlines tend to favor Boeing aircraft. Future outlook favors the 787 over the A350. However, narrowbody orders are equally split between the 737 MAX and A320neo families.

The Middle East carriers tend to prefer the narrowbodies of Airbus. The few narrowbody Boeings in use may not last long, especially considering there are no 737 MAX orders in this region. Widebodies from Boeing and Airbus are both greatly utilized, perhaps more so than any other region of the world. However, the 747 was never as popular as the A380 has become in this region.

The Asian fleet is very diverse, operating every aircraft family except the dated A300/A310 and MD-8x/717 families. The Asian region operates a majority of the remaining non-ER 767s and 777s (with no sign of removal), particularly because of the high-density domestic route structure set up in Asia. As in the United States, low-cost carriers in Asia utilize the A320 and 737 families, with a preference for the A320 family.

AirAsia and AirAsia X include all sub-brands.

Even though there are limited operators in this region, there is a clear favoritism towards Airbus. All fleet cut backs are Boeings, and all orders are for Airbus aircraft. However, the 777-300ER is prominent, probably because its long-range capability is useful, given Australia's remote location.
