By Doug Gollan, July 13, 2023

Global private jet flight activity dropped 20% week-to-week after the July 4 holiday with 61,477 segments.

That was 6% under the same week last year.

Year-to-date activity is down 5% from 2022 but still 19% ahead of 2019, excluding turboprops.

WingX Managing Director Richard Koe notes, “In the U.S., bizjet demand was well down in the last week due to the July Fourth holidays, with the four-week trends confirming around 5% deficit on last year´s record activity.”

He adds, “Much fewer transatlantic trips so far in July, but still up 20% on pre-covid. European trends are mixed, with Central Europe falling below 2019 levels, but hotspot holiday locations still seeing record arrivals.”

In the U.S., the 37,073 flights marked a 28% drop from the previous week, 6% below 2022.

Florida, with 4,087 flights, was even with last year despite a 23% drop from Week 26.

In Europe, the 15,793 flights were a 3% week-to-week drop and a 10% decline year-over-year.
