Private Jet Flight Activity Analysis – 2024 – Week 37

Worldwide private jet flight activity in Week 37 (69,441 segments) gained 3% from the previous week, 6% down from 2023.

U.S. private flights (45,962 segments) were up 4% sequentially and down 7% year-over-year.

“Bizjet flight activity is slowing fast in the U.S. this month. The declines derive from waning demand in the smaller end of the market, particularly older entry-level and midsize jets,” says WingX Managing Director Richard Koe.

Of the busiest trio of U.S. states, Florida (4,223 departures) saw the smallest loss year-over-year dip, down 1%.

California flights were down 9% compared to Week 37 last year.

They now trail 2023 by 4% over the past four weeks.

Europe (12,465 departures) was up 2% sequentially and down 2% year-over-year.

European flights were 3% down year-over-year over the past four weeks.
