Top 10 of the World's Largest Airlines by Fleet Size in Q3 2025
United Overtakes American! The Top 10 LARGEST Global Airline Fleets of Q3 2025 | Aviation Power Rankings The aviation landscape is changing rapidly! This video breaks down the Top 10 Largest Commercial Passenger Airlines by Mainline Fleet Size in Q3 2025, revealing how United Airlines secured the #1 spot with over 1,050 mainline aircraft, driven by its "United Next" strategy and aggressive deliveries. The ranking reflects a mix of legacy stability and aggressive challenger growth. US carriers American Airlines (~1,005 aircraft) and Delta Air Lines (~992 aircraft) maintain the podium sweep despite persistent supply chain bottlenecks impacting the entire industry. We detail the surprising growth of emerging powerhouses: • Low-Cost Giants: Southwest Airlines remains formidable with an all-Boeing fleet exceeding 800 aircraft, while Europe’s Ryanair pushes past the 600-aircraft mark using its high-density 737 MAX 8-200 "Gamechanger" jets. • The Asian Shift: China Southern Airlines (Asia’s largest, ~704 aircraft) and China Eastern Airlines are stabilizing their positions while integrating the Chinese-made COMAC C919 into their mainline operations. • Fastest Growers: Turkish Airlines crossed the 500-aircraft threshold fueled by massive widebody orders, and IndiGo (the world's largest customer for the Airbus A320neo family) is ramping up its international ambitions. Discover the three critical trends shaping the industry in 2025: the persistent supply chain squeeze, the dominance of the "Mega-Narrowbody" aircraft like the Airbus A321neo, and the continuing shift of global capacity toward the East. ***** #Aviation2025 #AirlineRankings #FleetSize #UnitedAirlines #AmericanAirlines #Delta #AvGeek #AviationNews #TravelTrends #Boeing #Airbus #Southwest #COMACC919 #TurkishAirlines #IndiGo ***** PLAYLISTS • Aircraft, Aviation & Aerospace Technology • Aviation Hot Topics & Trends • Air Transport • Review of Q3 2025 Aerospace & Aviation Fin... • Aerospace Profitability Reviews • Airline Profitability Reviews • Aviation & Aerospace Regulations • Review of Q3 2025 Airport Financial Results • Aerospace Financial Results • Review of Q3 2025 Airline Financial Results • Airport Profitability Reviews ***** ABOUT World Aviation Media is your global hub for aviation intelligence.
