A key step to proactively identifying operational hazards is analysis of safety data, the 2023-2025 edition of ICAO’s Global Aviation Safety Plan (GASP) identified Midair collision as one of five global high-risk categories of occurrence (G-HRCs). We reviewed NTSB’s data set for Midair collisions and Near misses in the United States.

How will UrbanLink Air Mobility ensure the safety and efficiency of its all-electric fleet? The South Florida-based UrbanLink Air Mobility, a pioneer in sustainable transportation solutions, has announced a strategic collaboration with FEAM Aero, a Miami-based leader in aircraft line maintenance services. This partnership is critical to supporting UrbanLink’s growing fleet, which includes eVTOL aircraft from Lilium and CRISALION Mobility, the Eviation Aircraft ALICE, and electric sea vessels from REGENT Craft and Artemis Technologies. FEAM Aero’s extensive expertise will play a pivotal role in reducing downtime and enhancing operational efficiency, according to Ed Wegel, Founder and Chairman of UrbanLink. FEAM Aero, with 52 global line stations and a workforce of over 1,500 maintenance technicians, services more than 130,000 flights annually. Its strategic presence across the U.S., U.K., and Europe uniquely positions it to support UrbanLink’s regional and global operations. “This partnership marks another significant milestone for FEAM Aero as we continue to expand our role in the rapidly evolving Advanced Air Mobility (AAM) industry,” said Dan Allawat, Chief Strategy Officer of FEAM Aero. UrbanLink is also collaborating with Ferrovial Vertiports and Skyway Technologies to develop vertiports in key markets and has adopted mba Aviation’s Jumpseat Safety Management System (SMS). With operations in Miami/South Florida, Los Angeles/Southern California, Puerto Rico, and the Caribbean, UrbanLink is now extending its reach to Europe, focusing on Spain and Italy with CRISALION Mobility’s 'Integrity' eVTOL aircraft.

Ahead of Airline Economics Dublin next week, we wanted to share a summary of our analysis on aircraft demand through the end of the decade. Key takeaways include: ✈️𝗗𝗲𝗺𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗦𝘂𝗿𝗴𝗲: By 2029, the industry will require nearly 33,000 narrowbody and widebody aircraft, equivalent to 6 million seats. ✈️ 𝗡𝗲𝘄 𝗗𝗲𝗹𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗲𝘀: Of these, 14,000 aircraft will need to be new deliveries, with 19,000 currently in service expected to remain active. ✈️ 𝗨𝘁𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘇𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗜𝗻𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘀𝗲: Single-aisle aircraft utilization is expected to rise to over 9 hours/day, and twin-aisle aircraft will exceed 11 hours/day within the decade. ✈️ 𝗦𝘂𝗽𝗽𝗹𝘆 𝗖𝗵𝗮𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗻𝗴𝗲: A projected shortfall looms, with manufacturers struggling to meet demand—estimated at 120–200 single-aisle and 32–52 twin-aisle aircraft/month needed, not me by current production capacity. Reach out to David Tokoph, Anne Correa, David Archer, Anna Kopinski, ASA, ISTAT Certified Appraiser, Natasha Birnbaum, David Laing or Shane Culleton if you will be in Dublin next week to discuss! #Aviation #FleetForecast #TravelDemand #MBAAviation

Exciting Times in the Engine Market! The aviation engine market has experienced remarkable growth and change over the past year. In the latest Airfinance Journal article, mba's Sloane Churchill, Manager of Asset Valuations at mba Aviation, shares insights into the market’s rapid shifts, driven by factors such as extended MRO turnaround times, delivery delays, and durability challenges. These dynamics have propelled lease rates and market values for many engine types to new heights. Key highlights from the article: - Market Values and Lease Rates for many engine types, including narrowbody and widebody engines have grown in the last year and have potential to continue climbing. - mba's 12-month outlook for the engine market is positive as driving factors we've seen over the past year likely continue, which may have a further impact on values and lease rates. - The market's "supply chain woes" are predicted to impact the market likely close to the end of the decade as much of the market is impacted, including OEMs and MROs. We’re proud to share MBA’s insights in this in-depth feature. Read the full story here: https://lnkd.in/gvxxqg4Q Have thoughts or questions? Feel free to reach out—we’d love to discuss these trends further. #Aviation
