ROW's rebound was modest and uneven, but the volume leaders posted solid growth from April.
Mixed Recovery: Rest of World's average MoM of +8.25% reflects an uneven, modest rebound. The Global 6000 led at +30.06% and the Challenger 600 Series +23.93%, but the Phenom 100 (-16.64%) and Phenom 300 (-2.23%) slipped — the only Top 10 models to decline.
Embraer Presence: Embraer places 3 models in the Top 10 (Legacy 600 Series, Phenom 300, Phenom 100), matched by Bombardier (Challenger 600, Global 6000, Learjet 40/45). The Top 10 captured 12,459 flights in May, up from 11,498 in April.
Structural Demand: The Top 10 reflects ROW's distinctive mix — long-range Challenger 600 and Global 6000 for intercontinental missions alongside light jets (Phenom 100, Citation Mustang) and Hawker types. Concentrated, corridor-based deployment keeps these models consistently active across the region.
