Avfuel Expands FBO Network to Washington DC and San Antonio — but KSAT's Quarterly 9,200 Movements With Zero Growth Tests New Entrant Return Window

★★★ Dual cross-verification. Avfuel announced on April 9 the expansion of its dealer network to the Mid-Atlantic (Washington DC) and South Texas (San Antonio) regions. AviGo data shows KSAT Q1 2026 business jet movements at 9,248 — essentially flat vs. Q1 2025's 9,276 (−0.3%); the market has entered mature steady-state. Operator structure shifted: Flexjet newly entered Top 3 with a strong 257 movements, Encore Jet Management +11% against the trend, but NetJets declined 13.8% and Jet Linx crashed 42.9%. March single-month +5.2% shows peak-season elasticity persists. In a zero-growth environment, new FBOs must take share from incumbents — Avfuel's entry is more a network-density strategy than chasing incremental upside.
