This reflects intensive deployment and concentrated utilization on the most-active aircraft in the regional Top 10 as May volumes surged.

Top 10 Composition: The North America ranking spans 129.87h (#1) to 51.95h (#10), a 2.50x gap ratio — a wider spread than the global list, as a handful of super-midsize standouts pull well clear of the field. Bombardier Dominance: Bombardier places 4 models in the Top 10 — Challenger 800, CRJ-200 VIP, Challenger 300 Series, and Challenger 850 — underscoring its strong presence in North American fleet utilization. The Top 10 average of 80.69h reflects the regional intensity of deployment for high-utilization aircraft.

Mission Profile: The Top 10 spans diverse categories — super-midsize jets (Praetor 500, Citation Longitude/Latitude), VIP and regional conversions (Challenger 800, CRJ-200 VIP), light jets (Phenom 300), and legacy types (Falcon 100). May's broad rebound lifted deployment intensity across the most actively flown aircraft.
