Global Private Jet Activity YTD

So far, on a year-over-year basis, the scorecard shows:

  • Weeks Up: 26
  • Weeks Flat: 2
  • Weeks Down: 3
  • 15 weeks since a down week

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.
