And how many of those deliveries are going to be growth in 2026? No Max, airbus and canibus are behind. 767s and 757s retiring, and 717s are struggling with wing spars. I would say that it’s extremely unlikely we see your “2000” in 2026. Maybe over the next couple years if we start seeing maxs. I’d love to be wrong, doubt I am.

My guesstimate was 1,200. 2,000 would be a nice surprise. We still netting growth with more 220, 321, and I believe a few more 359’s coming in. The 757/767 are retiring, but not at any expedited rate. When the maxes and future WB’s come in that’s when I’ll bet on the 2,000 range.

Not a lot of growth - as the Max10s come (eventually), the older 320s and 757s will accelerate their departures. I'd estimate 2% growth in seat count. The other growth they have forecasted will come from increased utilization and higher ALVs.
I can see a lot of rearranging in the next two years - 717s out, A220, A319 and 737-800 filling in those routes. As older 320 and 757s leave, 737-900, A321 and Max10 replacing them.
