Which private jet models fly the most? — 2026-08-24
AVI-GO SkyPulse data shows that the Phenom 300 is the most-flown private jet, with 10,552 flights over the trailing 14 days through 2026-08-24, an average of about 754 flights a day.
Business jets are also called private jets. These figures count business jets only — turboprops and piston aircraft are excluded, as is scheduled airline traffic; the same basis is used in AVI-GO's monthly reports. Movements count departures plus arrivals, while departures count only outbound flights. These are general-aviation / FBO-served operations.
