#5 Brazil ↔ United States 139 flights MoM -9.15% YoY -6.71% Argentina-Uruguay Sharp Pullback: Argentina-Uruguay led ROW Top 5 with 260 flights but contracted sharply -55.17% MoM (-16.40% YoY). April marks a transition from summer resort season to autumn business travel in the Southern Hemisphere, with sustained demand between Buenos Aires and Montevideo cooling significantly from March's elevated levels.

Morocco-Spain Resilient YoY: Morocco-Spain held nearly flat MoM at -6.30% (223 flights) and posted strong +15.54% YoY growth — the highest YoY gain in ROW Top 5. Cross-Mediterranean traffic between Marrakech and Spanish destinations continues to expand structurally.

China-Japan Stable Cross-Border: China-Japan posted -7.56% MoM (208 flights) but +3.48% YoY. The corridor remains relatively stable, reflecting steady cross-border business ties between Chinese and Japanese corporations. The mild contraction is consistent with broader regional softening.

Indonesia-Singapore Pullback: Indonesia-Singapore declined -24.81% MoM to 200 flights and -14.16% YoY. This corridor serves as a bellwether for ASEAN business aviation, with the YoY softness signaling moderating demand from Indonesian conglomerates traveling to Singapore's financial center. Brazil-US (139 flights, -9.15% MoM, -6.71% YoY) rounds out the Top 5 with the mildest absolute decline among intercontinental ROW routes.
