Yes — a few commercial aviation trade/news outlets do a particularly good job covering aircraft orders, lease/deal announcements, fleet plans, and new aircraft programs. The best-known ones include:

Trade/news sites to check

  • Aviation Week – Very strong on OEM programs, launch orders, certification, and airline/fleet strategy.
  • FlightGlobal – Good for deal announcements, program updates, and airline/OEM coverage.
  • The Air Current – Deeper analysis on aircraft programs, market moves, and industry deal-making.
  • Leeham News and Analysis – Especially useful for Airbus/Boeing program and market commentary.
  • Simple Flying – More general-interest, but it regularly covers orders, deliveries, and new programs.
  • AeroTime – Covers airline and OEM announcements, including new aircraft and fleet deals.

If you want deal-focused data specifically

  • Cirium and CAPA – Centre for Aviation often have strong fleet/order and market intelligence, though some content is paywalled.
  • ch-aviation is excellent for airline fleet/order tracking and aircraft program-related news.

For official announcements

If you want the fastest source for new deals/program launches, also monitor:

  • Airbus newsroom
  • Boeing newsroom
  • COMAC / Embraer / ATR / Bombardier / Dassault newsrooms
  • Airline press release pages and lessors like Avolon, AerCap, SMBC Aviation Capital, BOC Aviation

If you want, I can also give you:

  1. a ranked list by quality,
  2. free vs paywalled options, or
  3. a list focused specifically on aircraft leasing/deal news.
