Amsterdam Schiphol Q1 Business Jet Movements Crash 11.5% While Brussels Flat — Dutch Capacity Controls Accelerate Flow Diversion
Analysis
EHAM Q1 2026 business jet movements totaled 2,261, YoY −11.5% (−294), while EBBR — just one hour by car away — recorded 1,435 movements, +0.6% YoY. EHAM's decline far exceeds the European five-hub average (−3.8%), and the two airports share top operators (NetJets Europe and ASL Group both in respective Top 2), indicating some flow may be diverting from Schiphol to Brussels. Type mix differences also support this read: EBBR's Falcon 7X at 141 movements tops the list, with long-range large-cabin share at 18.5%, indicating high-end long-haul demand is shifting to Brussels. Confidence ★★ (AviGo data + logical inference).
