Another important aspect of ch-aviation is, of course, our database! We’re determined to add ever more aircraft to our database, as well as airport, airline, and lessor profiles, along with contact details for executive positions and other important roles at those companies. We’ve also continued our ch-aviation University Access program, providing 28 universities across the world with our aviation data.

In 2022, we upgraded our ch-aviation Youngest Aircraft Fleet Award and, for the first time, acknowledged lessors with the ch-aviation Youngest Aircraft Portfolio Award. Having a modern fleet and portfolio by using new generation aircraft helps reduce CO2 emissions within the aviation industry and helps achieve better fuel efficiency. This represents a huge step forward for sustainability, and we’re proud to give those companies the recognition they deserve.

Uganda Airlines won the ch-aviation Youngest Aircraft Fleet Award 2022, while CMB Financial Leasing took first place in the ch-aviation Youngest Aircraft Portfolio Award 2022.

P.S. Stay tuned for the ch-aviation Youngest Aircraft Fleet Award 2023, which will be announced soon!
