The A320neo and 737 MAX 8 have entered the top 10 table, with the A321neo not far behind.
The world had nearly 31 million flights in 2022, according to Cirium data. Splitting it over the entire year (admittedly very unfair given the pandemic) means 84,931 flights daily, 3,538 per hour, 59 per minute, and one each second. While annual flights were down by 19% over 2019, the mind boggles at how much activity that is. But what were the top 10 most used aircraft?

More flights were by the A320ceo than any other aircraft. With 6.35 million, the middle-of-the-road Airbus narrowbody had a fifth of the world’s services, based on analyzing every type and variant flying globally using schedules information from Cirium.
Occupying three spots are large turboprops and regional jets, led by the Embraer E175 (in sixth place), which, thanks to the USA’s scope clause agreement and upgauging, is the world’s most popular regional jet. Then it’s the ATR-72 (seventh), renowned for low operating costs on short trips, and the CRJ-900 (tenth).
