Short range narrow body jets have an intended lifespan of nearly 50,000 flight cycles.

On average, an Airbus A320 operates four flights a day and can last almost 35 years of operation plus maintenance downtime.

Fighter jets may utilise up to two sets of engines during their operational lifespan.

It's not uncommon for commercial airliners to go through three to four sets of engine sets.
