This first release is deliberately narrow. It does not claim complete global fleet coverage, and it never treats options, delivery schedules or third-party fleet estimates as aircraft on order.

Latest connected briefings
These source-backed briefings keep the tracker useful while structured records pass field-by-field verification.
Published record standard
Counts are observations at the source's stated date, not live estimates. In-service, firm-order, delivered and retired states are never combined. Options, expected delivery dates, stored aircraft and future retirement plans remain excluded unless published under their own field and evidence rule.
Update cadence: Airline filings and manufacturer delivery registers are checked after each controlling release; every material change creates a versioned dataset release.
The source monitor and evidence feed are live. Structured rows publish only when every required value reconciles with a controlling record; missing values are never inferred.
