By Doug Gollan, October 16, 2025

What goes up stays up, at least in 2025, when it comes to our weekly private jet flight activity analysis.

Week 41 saw a 4% sequential gain.

The 79,114 flights represented a 7% year-over-year increase.

The 55,188 U.S. departures represented both a 6% week-to-week and year-over-year jump.

They also set a 52-week high and extended the industry’s winning streak to 19 weeks without a year-over-year dip.

Global Private Jet Activity YTD

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

  • Weeks Up: 35
  • Weeks Flat: 3
  • Weeks Down: 3
  • 25 weeks since a down week

Looking at the U.S., Florida flights (5,967) were up 20% year over year.

That, however, was a reversal of the 18% drop from 2023 to 2024 caused by Hurricane Milton.

European private jet departures (11,118) were 3% ahead of last year.

Both Africa (+48%) and South America (+31%) saw significant year-over-year increases.
