Key Regional Insight March 2026 marks a dramatic reversal from February's seasonal trough, with broad-based YoY growth across all segments and regions. Rest of World's Short-haul led with the strongest MoM recovery at +78.40%, while Europe posted the highest MoM growth overall with Medium-haul +98.98%. North America maintained its dominant position with Short-haul growing +21.64% YoY (+69.61% MoM), confirming broad market expansion heading into Q2.
North America Analysis North American operations delivered strong broad-based growth, with short-haul surging +21.64% YoY (+69.61% MoM to 148,313) and medium-haul climbing +22.42% YoY (+65.36% MoM to 118,613). Long-haul led the YoY expansion at +25.48% (6,742 flights, +45.43% MoM), confirming sustained intercontinental demand.
The March calendar advantage (31 days vs February's 28) combined with the spring business travel rebound drove this powerful recovery. The balanced YoY expansion across all three range categories (+21-25%) reflects structural strength rather than one-off effects, with both domestic connectivity and premium transcontinental operations contributing to the strong quarter-end performance.
Europe Analysis European business aviation showed the strongest MoM rebound among the three regions, with Medium-haul surging +98.98% MoM (16,354 flights, +54.94% YoY) and Short-haul jumping +92.07% MoM (35,205 flights, +53.36% YoY). Long-haul posted more modest +17.90% YoY growth (+31.73% MoM to 2,246).
Europe's exceptionally strong YoY growth (+50% range for Short and Medium-haul) reflects a combination of the spring travel rebound, the longer March calendar, and unwinding of February's abnormally weak baseline. The convergence of these factors produced the most dramatic regional acceleration globally.
Rest of World Analysis Rest of World delivered the strongest Short-haul MoM recovery at +78.40% (19,226 flights, +12.70% YoY), while Medium-haul climbed +61.45% MoM (11,171) and Long-haul added +40.29% MoM (2,695). All three segments posted double-digit YoY growth of +12-16%.
ROW's more moderate YoY growth compared to Europe reflects a steadier year-round baseline across the diverse markets within this region. Short-haul's strong MoM rebound signals sharp recovery in regional flying across the Middle East, Asia-Pacific, and Latin America as seasonal and economic factors normalized.
