Lima Business Jet Market Dominated by Domestic Short-Haul; Q1 2026 Down 20% YoY — ATSA and Clay Lacy Lead Operations
Analysis
★★ Peru's Lima SPJC recorded 1,566 business jet movements full-year 2025, with clear seasonality (Q4 strongest at 449; November peak 217; Q3 weakest at 306). Q1 2026 totaled just 320 movements, down 20% vs. Q1 2025's 400 (monthly: 92 → 109 → 119). Operators highly concentrated: local ATSA leads with 103 movements, US Clay Lacy follows at 84, VistaJet and Panorama Jets fill out. Destinations dominated by Peruvian domestic cities (e.g. San Bartolo); international route connectivity is limited, though complete destination ranking cannot be fully verified due to data truncation. The market core is domestic short-haul demand.
