Manila Business Jet Movements Deteriorate From March's 52% Crash to Early-April's 64% Plunge — Southeast Asia's Largest-Decline Market Shows No Signs of Recovery
Analysis
RPLL airport recorded 201 business jet movements in March 2026, YoY −52.1% (vs. 420 in March 2025). Entering April 1–5, the decline widened to −64.2% (24 vs. 67 in the same period of 2025). More notable is the structural imbalance: early-April departures totaled just 8 (YoY −77.8%) while arrivals were 16 (YoY −48.4%) — a small number of business jets still arrive in Manila but generate almost no return demand. This stands in extreme contrast to the modest Q1 −3.57% decline across Southeast Asia's four countries combined — Manila's collapse is a regional anomaly, not a trend. For operators and brokers, Philippine business jet demand has entered an accelerating-deterioration phase. Confidence ★★ (AviGo multi-period data + regional comparison).
