Euro Jet Opens 19th Crew Office in Budapest Preparing for Champions League Final — but LHBP Q1 Business Jet Movements Crash 19.2% YoY; Whether Event Premium Can Reverse the Slump Is Key
Analysis
★★★ Euro Jet opened its 19th global crew office in Budapest LHBP on April 13 — explicitly preparing for the upcoming Champions League final. However AviGo data shows LHBP Q1 2026 business jet movements at just 1,109, YoY −19.2% (−263). Type mix saw significant reshuffling: Citation III crashed from 101 to 52 (−48.5%), while Citation VI grew against the trend to 104 (+28.4%) taking #1; Hawker 400XP grew +37.9% to #2. Monthly trajectory: January 343 → February 353 → March 413, gradual recovery. Euro Jet's investment bets on short-term flow burst during the Champions League final, but Q1 fundamentals' weakness means post-event sustained operational demand carries uncertainty.
