Flexjet US Departures Q1 +5.3% YoY to 35,159 Movements — January and March Twin Peaks Drive Growth; First Two Weeks of April Drop to Zero Growth
●Flexjet
Analysis
AviGo data shows Flexjet Jan 1 – April 14, 2026 US departures totaled 35,159 — +5.3% vs. same period of 2025's 33,404. Monthly cadence showed clear divergence: January +7.9% (+729) and March +7.0% (+717) drove growth; February slowed to +3.7%; first 14 days of April slight −0.6% (−30). Both years exhibited the January → February pullback, March rebound seasonal pattern. April's zero growth warrants attention: it may reflect fuel-cost spike (Jet-A +19.2%) starting to suppress demand, or data may be incomplete. Vs. NetJets' +1.16% in the same period, Flexjet's +5.3% indicates its US market share is still expanding. Confidence ★★ (AviGo data primary).
