Total Flights (June 2026) 293,874 -0.34% YoY Full Year 2025 Volume 3,448,623 Annual Benchmark Average Daily Operations 9,796 -33 flights/day YoY YTD 2026 Cumulative (Jan-June) 1,707,337 +2.53% vs Jan-June 2025 June 2026 Performance Overview

June 2026 recorded 293,874 business aviation flights, a -0.34% year-over-year change against June 2025's 294,864 flights. This represents a stable, normalized outcome that held near year-ago levels, with activity settling into a seasonally typical band after the spring peak.

The month's daily average of 9,796 flights across 30 operational days was virtually unchanged from June 2025's 9,829 daily average, a difference of 33 flights/day. On a sequential basis, June eased -1.62% from May 2026's 298,711 flights, reflecting modest MoM softening rather than any abrupt shift in the demand environment.

The cumulative Jan-June 2026 tally of 1,707,337 flights is tracking +2.53% above the equivalent Jan-June 2025 period (1,665,281 flights). Q1 2026's +3.65% YoY gain has carried into a broadly flat Q2, preserving the YTD lead and keeping the six-month trajectory modestly positive.

Full Year 2025 Review The twelve-month cumulative performance of 3,448,623 flights for full year 2025 establishes the annual benchmark for year-over-year comparisons. Monthly averages of 287,385 flights throughout 2025 set the operational baseline, with Oct 2025's 310,674 departures marking the single-month peak. June 2026's 293,874 flights came in close to the 2025 monthly average, signaling stable demand.

The 2025 annual trajectory showed steady volumes from June through November (291K-311K range), with all twelve months exceeding 249,000 departures. This consistent baseline frames June 2026's normalized outcome against an already-elevated comparison.

Market Dynamics and Trends June 2025's comparison base of 294,864 flights establishes a relatively elevated benchmark, and June 2026 landed just -0.34% below it. This is the first flat-to-negative monthly print of 2026 after five positive months, confirming demand has normalized around prior-year norms rather than reversing.

Regional market share composition in June 2026 shows North America accounting for 71.45% of global departures (209,985 flights), Europe contributing 19.25% (56,579 flights), and all other regions comprising 9.29% (27,310 flights). Compared to May 2026, Europe gained share on seasonal strength while North America softened as summer demand rotated across regions.

Fleet utilization patterns reflect a settled activity environment: the daily average of 9,796 operations sits close to the 2025 baseline of approximately 9,448 daily flights, indicating broadly stable demand rather than pronounced swings in any single region.

Q2 2026 Outlook With Jan-June 2026 actuals now complete, the six-month cumulative volume of 1,707,337 flights tracks +2.53% above the equivalent 2025 period. The steady YTD lead reflects durable demand, with June activity holding the positive trajectory into mid-year.

Looking ahead, June 2025's 294,864 baseline establishes the current YoY benchmark, which June 2026 has effectively matched. Historical seasonal patterns show sustained summer volumes, and Europe's seasonal uplift provides support. The Q2 trajectory points to 2026 defending its modest YTD lead over 2025 through the summer.
