This reflects intensive deployment and concentrated utilization on the most-active aircraft in the regional Top 10 as July volumes stabilized above year-ago levels.

Top 10 Composition: The North America ranking spans 91.52h (#1) to 57.31h (#10), a 1.60x gap ratio — a moderate spread, with a VIP-conversion standout ahead of a tightly packed super-midsize field. Embraer & Bombardier Presence: Embraer places 3 models in the Top 10 — ERJ 145 VIP, Praetor 500, and Phenom 300 — matched by Bombardier's Challenger 800, CRJ-200 VIP, and Challenger 850. The Top 10 average of 71.91h reflects the regional intensity of deployment for high-utilization aircraft.

Mission Profile: The Top 10 spans diverse categories — super-midsize jets (Citation Longitude/Latitude, Praetor 500), VIP and regional conversions (ERJ 145 VIP, CRJ-200 VIP), large-cabin types (Gulfstream G300/G400, Challenger 800), and light jets (Phenom 300). July's stable activity kept deployment intensity steady across the most actively flown aircraft.
