+13.88% Austin ↔ Dallas -5.97% New York ↔ Westchester -6.29% Top YoY Growth Routes Los Angeles ↔ San Francisco +5.56% Las Vegas ↔ Santa Ana -8.20% Las Vegas ↔ Scottsdale -14.55% Miami-New York Seasonal Shift: Miami-New York leads NA city pairs with 620 flights but declined -12.92% MoM and -21.32% YoY. The February downturn from January reflects the gradual winding down of peak snowbird season, with wealthy Northeasterners beginning to return from South Florida as winter ends.

LA-San Francisco Sole Bright Spot: Los Angeles-San Francisco is the only route showing positive growth in both MoM (+13.88%) and YoY (+5.56%) metrics, reaching 361 flights. This corridor benefits from renewed tech sector business activity and corporate travel between California's two major economic centers.

Texas Triangle Continued Softening: Dallas-Houston (-14.22% MoM, -26.60% YoY) and Austin-Dallas (-5.97% MoM, -22.65% YoY) both show sustained weakness. The pronounced YoY declines suggest structural headwinds in Texas corporate aviation beyond normal seasonal patterns.

Las Vegas Hub Weakening: Las Vegas appears in 3 Top 10 routes (LA, Santa Ana, Scottsdale) but all three declined MoM, with Scottsdale showing the steepest drop at -23.76%. February sees reduced convention and event activity compared to January's CES-driven peak, dampening demand from multiple West Coast origins.

South Florida Tapering: Both South Florida routes (Miami-NY and NY-West Palm Beach) showed MoM declines as the peak winter season begins to wane. New York-West Palm Beach fell -10.98% MoM and -19.28% YoY, consistent with the broader softening in snowbird-related private aviation demand.

NY-Washington Persistent Decline: The New York-Washington corridor dropped -10.78% MoM and -23.44% YoY to 356 flights, reflecting continued weakness in government and policy-related business travel between these two political and financial centers.
