Xi'an Business Jet Q1 Movements Down ~35% YoY, March Decline Particularly Pronounced — but Low-Base Volatility Is Inherently Large

AviGo data shows Xi'an Xianyang ZLXY Q1 2026 business jet movements at 99 vs. 152 in same period of 2025 (YoY −34.9%). Monthly trajectory deteriorating: January −31.5%; February −19.2% (slightly narrowing); March down to just 20 movements (YoY −56.5%). Route mix: Beijing (10), Sanya (8); Ordos and Hong Kong 4 each. March's cliff drop warrants attention, but note single-month 20-movement base is extremely small — small flight changes cause large percentage swings; should not be over-interpreted. Additionally, a prior version mentioned Routes Asia 2026 in Xi'an, but the forum's 2026 host city has not been confirmed, and Routes Asia mainly targets airline commercial route development — direct boost effect on business jet movements is inherently limited. Xi'an's activity as central-western business aviation node has declined; FBOs and ground service providers should track subsequent trend changes. Confidence ★★ (AviGo data clear, but low-base volatility large; lacks operator-level cause confirmation).
