Miami F1 Pre-Race Week Business Jet Movements Crash 58% YoY — Event Pre-Heat Effect Absent
Analysis
April 25–27, 2026 (F1 Miami GP pre-race week) South Florida three major business jet airports combined departures at just 241 — YoY −58.2% vs. same period of 2025's 577. KFLL had the largest decline (−62.5%); KOPF −60.6%; KMIA −46.3%. All three airports broadly declined sharply, completely lacking pre-race flow buildup signs. Considering global business jet market overall downtrend (US April YoY −13.9%), Miami's −58% far exceeds the national average — possibly layered with crude price spike suppressing high-end charter demand. Continued monitoring of May 1–3 race period needed to determine whether delayed flow pulse appears. Confidence ★★ (AviGo data, departures only).
