F1 Canadian Grand Prix Montreal Business Jet Daily Flow YoY Notable Growth; PC-12 Firmly Holds Connection Top Choice
Analysis
2026 F1 Canadian Grand Prix event window (note: traditionally Montreal F1 runs in June; whether 2026 calendar advanced to late May pending confirmation), CYUL (Montreal Trudeau Airport) + CYHU (Saint-Hubert Airport, Montreal-area main business jet airport) combined recorded hundreds of movements; daily flow YoY notable growth vs. 2025 same period. CYHU effectively diverted event-period business jet pressure. Type landscape highly stable: Pilatus PC-12 #1 in both years; Phenom 300, King Air 100, Citation CJ3+ firmly in top tier; midsize jets switched from Challenger 350 to Challenger 300. Event business jet demand resilience strong — certainty revenue window for FBOs and ground service providers. Confidence ★★ (AviGo data complete; airport codes and type info verifiable; specific event dates pending confirmation).
