Into Africa: Over the past month, it’s the only region with positive growth in overall and fractional/charter private jet flight activity.

That was 8% below Week 19 in 2022.

The bad news is it represented just 3,521 and 1,109 flights.

Its 196,886 flights over the trailing four weeks represent a 9% drop year-over-year.
As we head into EBACE in Geneva next week, Europe saw a 10% week-to-week gain with 11,280.
Still, numbers are 6% below last year and 7% down for the past month.
