WingX Managing Director Richard Koe spoke about another year-over-year increase in private jet flight activity.
Koe stated:
‘The third quarter of 2025 looks to be trending towards 4%, the strongest quarter so far this year, confirming the consistent strength in bizjet flight demand since November last year. There are no evident dents in demand from tariffs, and the leisure market looks robust, notably to high-end resorts in Italy’s end-ofsummer season. Brazil, recently hosting LABACE, is lending most of the growth the stand-out increase in YOY traffic in South America.’
