Which Planes do Aircraft Dispatchers See the Most?

As an aircraft dispatcher, it is essential to stay up-to-date with the most commonly seen planes in the industry today. Sheffield School of Aeronautics shares the most common plans so you can know what to expect.

In order to recognize which planes aircraft dispatchers see the most, it is important to establish the planes that commercial companies purchase the most of, for those will be the most prevalent in the airports.

Of the U.S. commercial aircraft industry’s inventory, the most common manufacturers are Boeing, Airbus and Bombardier. However, there is a huge market leader, and that is Boeing. Roughly 41 percent of aircraft are manufactured by Boeing, 17 percent by Airbus and 15 percent by Bombardier.

The most common planes that are commercially flown, and seen by dispatchers, are as follows:

  1. Boeing 737-800
  2. Boeing 757-200
  3. Boeing 737-700
  4. Airbus A320-200
  5. Bombardier CRJ200

As it is important to recognize each plane, the easiest way to distinguish between various planes is to focus on these three details:

  1. The Nose
  2. Engine Inlet Shape
  3. Tail Fin Shape

As Sheffield’s mission is to provide real-world training and leading aircraft dispatchers, it is important to keep everyone informed on the latest and most commonly seen planes that aircraft dispatchers can expect to see daily.
