Double-digit YOY gains in Florida and California helped power worldwide private jet flight activity to a 5% YOY gain in Week 31.
Worldwide private jet flight activity (74,850 segments) continued its upward trend in Week 31 with 5% year-over-year growth.
Sequentially, private jet segments globally dipped 2% for the week ending August 3, 2025.
So far, on a year-over-year basis, the scorecard shows:
For July, segments increased 3.1% to 331,768 flights year-over-year.
What’s more, July flights were up 4.2% compared to July 2023.
The global active private jet fleet also increased, up 3.7% compared to 2024, with 19,851 unique aircraft flying in July, per WingX.
WingX Managing Director Richard Koe says bears should get out of the way.
He said July 2025 was the busiest in six years.
Koe says:
‘July’s record performance shows real momentum in the business jet market. North America’s 7% growth last week and strong UK summer holiday traffic to destinations like Mallorca demonstrate the underlying strength we’re seeing. Even with some regional variations, the overall trend remains very positive.’
U.S. segments (49,681) were up 7% compared to 2024.
Both Florida (+11%) and California (+10%) saw double-digit year-over-year gains.
Europe flights (13,686) were up 2% compared to Week 31 a year ago.
European private jet segments are up 2% over the trailing four weeks.
