3,814 4,576 -16.65% Challenger 300 Series Leads NA: The Bombardier Challenger 300 Series tops North America with 14,630 flights in February, well ahead of the Phenom 300 (10,784). This super-midsize jet's leadership reflects strong charter and fractional demand for medium to long-range corporate travel across the continent.

Significant Seasonal Decline: NA's average MoM decline of -19.91% reflects continued winter softening combined with the shorter February month. Citation Latitude showed the steepest drop at -41.84%, while Falcon 2000 Series was most resilient at -3.14%.

Falcon 2000 Series Most Stable: The Dassault Falcon 2000 Series showed the smallest decline at -3.14%, suggesting its long-range corporate mission profile maintains consistent demand less affected by seasonal fluctuations or the shorter February month.

Citation Latitude Steepest Drop: Citation Latitude experienced the largest decline at -41.84%, possibly reflecting owner-operators and fractional programs reducing activity during peak winter months, compounded by the shorter February calendar compared to January's 31 days.
