Edinburgh EGPH Business Jet Movements Q1 +5.6% Against the Trend Beating European Average, While Dublin EIDW Crashes −10.4% — British Isles Market Ice and Fire

Q1 2026 European business aviation overall +4.9% YoY; Edinburgh EGPH at 547 movements, +5.6% outperforms the market, with March +13.5% standing out. But Dublin EIDW fell from 1,410 to 1,264 (−10.4%), with February −10.3% and March −20.2% deteriorating month by month. Dublin is 2.3x Edinburgh's volume, so its sharp decline has greater regional impact. Two cities in the same British Isles economic sphere show diametrically opposed trajectories, possibly reflecting Irish tech/financial corporate travel demand slowdown vs. Scotland benefiting from energy sector or seasonal events. For regional FBOs and charter operators: Edinburgh warrants increased capacity allocation. Confidence ★★ (AviGo data complete; single source).
