Activity held at the summer peak established in June. With Jan-July 2026 cumulative volume at 2,003,399 flights versus Jan-July 2025's 1,963,843, the year-to-date trajectory remains modestly positive at +2.01% YoY .

Monthly Performance: July recorded 296,062 departures, a +0.74% sequential uptick from June's 293,874 flights. The daily average of 9,550 flights across 31 operational days sits broadly in line with the 2025 summer cadence, reflecting a settled, seasonally typical demand profile rather than any abrupt swing.

Growth Dynamics: The -0.84% YoY print extends June's flat comparison after the mildly positive Jan-May run (+1.4% to +5.2%), confirming demand has stabilized around prior-year norms. With July 2026 containing 31 days versus July 2025's

31 days, calendar effects are neutral — the outcome reflects genuine stability across the three regions, with Mediterranean-led European strength and steady North American demand. Market Context: With Jan-July 2026 actuals now complete, the 7-month cumulative volume of 2,003,399 flights tracks +2.01% above the equivalent 2025 period (1,963,843 flights). Q1 2026 reached 821,401 flights versus Q1 2025's 792,451 (+3.65% YoY), and the summer months have held near year-ago levels, keeping the YTD lead intact through midsummer.

Seasonal Patterns: The 2025 baseline shows steady summer volumes from July through October (295K-311K range), with October 2025 peaking at 310,674 departures. July's -0.84% YoY follows June's similarly flat print, consistent with a summer plateau. August 2025's 295,185 baseline anchors the next YoY benchmark, where sustained summer demand would preserve the positive YTD trajectory.
