According to WingX, 87,236 Business
Aviation departures in Europe during
June 2019 made it the busiest month of
the year so far. But flight activity is still
down in the region by 1.7% YoY. Trailing
12 month flight activity is flat for
Europe...
Turboprop activity was most severely
impacted with flights down 6% (-9% in
AOC). Business jet flights also declined 2%
(charters were flat while owner-flown
activity slipped). In June, Large Jet flights
were up by 3.4%, with Small and Mid-size
activity down 3.9%.
The top market in June was France
where departures gained 4% YoY. Flights
out of the UK fell 6%, and slumped 11% in
Germany. Another key market, Spain, saw
departures grow 9% YoY during July. YTD,
activity in France remains down 1%, while
the UK, Germany and Switzerland have
recorded declines ranging between 3%
and 5%.
Charter/AOC activity fell sharply in the
UK, Germany and Switzerland, but gained
5-10% in Spain, Netherlands and Greece.
Private flights, meanwhile, were well up in
Belgium and Spain but well down in
Germany and Russia.
Although Business Aviation traffic was
down 2% within Europe in June, flights to
North America and Latin America were up
5% and 23% YoY, respectively.
“All but one month this year so far have
seen declines in flight activity compared to
last year, with the first half of 2019 some
2% down on 2018,” Richard Koe,
managing director, WingX summarized.
“Clearly this reflects the gloomier
macroeconomic picture, with Germany ́s
economic slowdown and the UK ́s Brexit
chaos reflected in significant declines in
flight activity from both countries.
“Much of the Charter market is up for
grabs in the next two months, and
suppliers will be hoping that some early
summer growth in hotspots like Mykonos,
Ibiza and Nice are signs of that demand
staying robust through the third quarter of
the year.”
