However, while the number of active aircraft<br />
has increased slightly, operators are thinning<br />
their fleets and returning inactive aircraft to<br />
lessors. Overall flights and flying hours are<br />
materially lower since early April this year<br />
(down 27% Y-o-Y at the time of writing) and<br />
these hours are being spread over the active<br />
fleet of aircraft.<br />

Norway now has the largest number of<br />
active S-92s. In the previous update of this<br />
report, it was noted that Norway and the<br />
UK both had 36 S-92s active. We have since<br />
seen units move to Norway and as of June<br />
<strong>2020</strong>, it has 38 units active compared to 29<br />
in the UK. The UK still has the largest fleet of<br />
S-92s in-situ. The USA was the third-largest<br />
demand center with 25 units working.<br />
