Activity has normalized into a stable band after the spring peak. With Jan-June 2026 cumulative volume at 1,707,337 flights versus Jan-June 2025's 1,665,281, the year-to-date trajectory remains modestly positive at +2.53% YoY .

Monthly Performance: June recorded 293,874 departures, a -1.62% sequential softening from May's 298,711 flights. The daily average of 9,796 flights across 30 operational days sits broadly in line with the 2025 monthly cadence, reflecting a settled, seasonally typical demand profile rather than any abrupt swing.

Growth Dynamics: The -0.34% YoY print marks a return to flat comparisons after the mildly positive Jan-May run (+1.4% to +5.2%), confirming demand has stabilized around prior-year norms. With June 2026 containing 30 days versus June 2025's

30 days, calendar effects are neutral — the outcome reflects genuine normalization across the three regions, tempered by seasonal European strength offsetting softer North American demand. Market Context: With Jan-June 2026 actuals now complete, the 6-month cumulative volume of 1,707,337 flights tracks +2.53% above the equivalent 2025 period (1,665,281 flights). Q1 2026 reached 821,401 flights versus Q1 2025's 792,451 (+3.65% YoY), and the Q2 months have held near year-ago levels, keeping the YTD lead intact heading into the summer.

Seasonal Patterns: The 2025 baseline shows steady summer volumes from June through October (295K-311K range), with October 2025 peaking at 310,674 departures. June's -0.34% YoY is the first flat-to-negative print after five positive months of 2026. June 2025's 294,864 baseline anchors the next YoY benchmark, where sustained summer demand would preserve the positive YTD trajectory.
