Europe's Five Major Business Jet Hubs See March Movements Down 6.1% YoY but with Extreme Internal Divergence — London Luton EGGW Plunges 25.4%, Milan LIML Rises Against the Trend +8.9% to Become #2, Short-Haul Share Climbs to 74.3% Confirming Intra-Regional Demand Substitution

In March 2026, the five hubs LFPB/LIML/LSZH/EGGW/EDDB totaled 10,098 movements (YoY -6.1%), but the decline was concentrated in EGGW (-25.4%, down 502 movements) and LFPB (-10.0%). LIML surged to 2,036 movements to become #2 (+8.9%), with short-haul share rising from 70.7% to 74.3% (+3.6pp) and long-haul dropping from 6.2% to 4.7% (-1.5pp) — growth came almost entirely from intra-European routes. LSZH and EDDB also grew by 5.5% and 2.2% respectively. EGGW's collapse aligns with the UK's overall Q1 business jet market decline of 6.8% (Evidence 12), and EGGW's counter-trend rise in medium-haul share (+3.3pp) suggests some long-haul demand is being substituted by medium-haul.
