Wouldn't be so convinced on that on a longer term basis given Ryanair utilisation of some of their aircraft.
They have a few that are close to 17 years old and utilisation likely to be huge.
Average utilisation is circa 9 hrs per day per aircraft with some doing a lot more
Wonder what EI-DAC has done.
Doubt they have anything about 50,000 yet but the will be close with some.
