Seasonal Contraction Patterns January 2026 reveals broad seasonal contraction across Rest of World markets, with only 2 of 10 airports showing growth. Nigerian airports experience the sharpest declines (Lagos -41.55%, Abuja -40.47%), reflecting post-holiday demand normalization. Dubai maintains leadership with modest growth (+1.03%), while Singapore (WSSL, +1.56%) demonstrates steady Southeast Asian demand resilience.

Brazilian Market Adjustment Brazil's three airports in the Top 10 all show significant month-over-month declines: SBSP (-19.28%), SBJH (-32.02%), and SBBH (-15.19%). January is Brazil's summer vacation period, which typically reduces corporate aviation activity. Buenos Aires (SADF) also declines -18.02%, suggesting a broader South American seasonal pattern. Despite contractions, the Sao Paulo metro area still accounts for substantial combined volumes.
