In recent years, airlines have had a hard time, and most of them have not ordered new aircraft.
As leased aircraft continue to expire and older aircraft retire from service, some companies are still delivering sporadic previous orders, but in terms of overall numbers, some companies are shrinking in fleets
Today we take a look at which airlines have seen fewer aircraft in recent years
