📉 KHDC Recorded 19 Fewer Operations in July
KHDC recorded 657 business aircraft operations in July 2026, a slight contraction from June. Avi-Go data show that, across the two most recent complete months as of August 25, 2026, business aircraft operations at the airport declined from 676 in June to 657 in July, a decrease of 19 operations, or 2.8% month over month. Departures fell from 334 to 327, down 2.1%, while arrivals decreased from 342 to 330, down 3.5%. The statistics are calculated at the airport level, with each departure and arrival counted as one operation. The data for the two months reflect recent changes in airport activity and do not directly correspond to the individual business performance of the three FBOs.
Impact: The decline in total business aircraft operations at the airport means that the three FBOs faced a slightly lower overall aircraft activity base in July than in June, although fuel sales, parking, and hangar revenue still depend on customer distribution and service mix. The simultaneous decline in departures and arrivals also indicates that the overall reduction of 19 operations was not driven by a single operational direction.
Recommendation: The three FBOs can compare the airport activity base of 657 to 676 operations from June to July 2026 against their respective fuel volumes, parked aircraft operations, and hangar occupancy rates on an item-by-item basis. Going forward, they should closely monitor whether monthly business aircraft operations at the airport continue to deviate from this short-term range and adjust staffing and service allocation in line with changes in customer share.
