Cessna Dominance Cessna extends its market leadership to 37.88% share on a +27.61% MoM rebound and +28.28% YoY gain. The Citation Excel/XLS/XLS+ leads with 38.77% of brand flights (19,379), followed by Citation Latitude at 35.42%. As the broad-volume light/midsize workhorse, Cessna captured the largest absolute share of May's recovery.
Embraer Surge Embraer posts the strongest growth of the NA Top 5 — +48.24% MoM and +60.39% YoY — lifting share to 16.62%. The Phenom 300 dominates with 76.72% of brand flights (31,518), the single highest-volume model in North America. Embraer's light-jet concentration captured an outsized slice of the rebound.
Bombardier Rebounds The Challenger 300 Series accounts for 61.17% of Bombardier flights (24,772), the highest single-model concentration among the Top 5. With +26.40% MoM and +26.33% YoY, Bombardier's super-midsize segment recovered in lockstep with the broader corporate fleet's expansion.
Gulfstream Long-Range Mix Gulfstream shows the most muted Top-5 rebound at +9.22% MoM (+7.84% YoY). The balanced distribution across G450 (40.00%), G550 (30.48%), and G280 (29.52%) reflects diversified large-cabin demand. Long-range missions recovered more gradually than the light/midsize segments that led May's surge.
