European charter and fractional segments (10,342) were down 3% on a year-over-year basis.

Both Africa (-21%) and Asia (-11%) were in the red.

South America saw a 53% increase in weekly charter and fractional flights year-over-year.

However, with just 52 movements, that does little to move the needle.

South America is up 32% over the past four weeks.

The 172 segments for South America in the past month are roughly equivalent to what Florida sees in two days.
