This reflects the region's mix of regional and intercontinental operations under predominantly private ownership.

📊 Regional Gap Analysis The 26.99 percentage-point gap between EU (49.23%) and ROW (22.24%) reveals different market structures. NA and EU's mature charter and fractional-ownership markets drive high utilization, while ROW's predominantly private ownership yields lower but more selective deployment. In July's plateau month, EU held ahead of NA at the Top 10 level on sustained seasonal strength.
