FAQ

What does the Aircraft Popularity Index measure?

It ranks aircraft models by their share of priced empty-leg offers listed on EmptyJet. It measures listing share on EmptyJet, not fleet size or real-world flight volume.

How is share calculated?

Share is the model’s listing count divided by all aircraft offers shown in this edition (3,786 offers as of September 14, 2026).

Why do aircraft rankings change?

The mix of aircraft changes as empty-leg offers are listed, sold, withdrawn, or rescheduled. Rankings can therefore move between updates.
