Aircraft Register Update December 2019
The exodus of the Irish aircraft register continues this month with just two new aircraft being registered and a whopping 39 aircraft being cancelled. The total number of aircraft registered in Ireland (EI- and EJ-) stood at 1349 at the end of 2019 down from 1433 at the end of 2018. It has even fallen below the December 2017 figure of 1378. Three Sukhoi RRJ-95B’s were cancelled this month, among them was EI-FWC pictured above. A fourth one, EI-FWD underwent an owner change and will most likely be deregistered too in the coming months.
