Private Jet Flight Activity Analysis – 2024 – Week 34

Worldwide private jet flights (70,242 segments) saw a 1% increase week-to-week and year-over-year in Week 34.

WingX Managing Director Richard Koe notes, “Part 135 and 91K flights out of Texas and Florida were up more than 10% in the latest week and are trending up 5% in August, in contrast to the 1% decline in bizjet activity in the U.S., eight months into 2024. The late summer surge in the U.S. compares to a post-Olympics slowdown in Europe.”

While U.S. flying was flat sequentially (46,947 flights), that marked a 4% year-over-year bump.

California (4,471 segments) and Texas (4,395) saw 9% gains compared to the same week in 2023.

European private jet flight activity (12,059) was down 3% year-over-year despite a 6% week-to-week gain.

Of emerging markets, Africa (2,612 segments) is down 27% over the past four weeks.
