March Performance Analysis Rest of World recorded 33,116 business jet departures in March 2026, a strong +68.76% sequential recovery from February 2026's 19,623 flights. Year-over-year, the region expanded +13.78% against March 2025's 29,105 departures. This rebound confirms the seasonal recovery pattern across developing and emerging markets.

The region's 9.18% global share reflects the recovery from February's trough. The March rebound was broad-based across sub-regions, with South America, Middle East, and Asia-Pacific all contributing to the expansion. Seasonal Pattern Recognition

The 13-month trend shows Rest of World seasonality differs from Northern Hemisphere patterns: Dec 2025's 35,875 departures marked the annual peak. March's +68.76% MoM rebound demonstrates the region's recovery trajectory from February's seasonal trough, consistent with the onset of autumn travel in the Southern Hemisphere and stabilizing demand across Asia-Pacific and Middle Eastern markets.

Market Dynamics The March recovery was broad-based across sub-regions. South American markets (Brazil, Argentina) posted substantial MoM gains as post-Carnival activity resumed. Middle Eastern activity stabilized as spring event season commenced. Asia-Pacific operations expanded across major markets including India, Australia, and Singapore, contributing to the regional rebound.

The region's diverse geographic composition means March benefits from multiple seasonal tailwinds — emerging markets resuming normal activity post-February holiday effects, Middle Eastern spring season commencing, and Asian markets returning to full operational capacity. This convergence of seasonal recoveries supports the broad-based March rebound.

April Outlook April projections anticipate continued growth toward 30,000-32,000 departures as seasonal patterns normalize. April 2025 recorded 30,992 departures, establishing the YoY comparison baseline. The region's structural growth trajectory has been confirmed by March's rebound.
