Analysis
March – May 24, 2026, business jet flights with duration >5 hours intercontinental departures show significant divergence. US at 14,498 YoY +19.9%, accelerating month by month (March +10.6% → April +25.0% → May +25.6%). China +24.2% (463 → 575); Japan +8.3%. But Europe broadly under pressure: UK −8.9%; France −13.0%; Italy −7.6%. Brazil largest decline at −41.7% (959 → 559). UAE fell from 2025's #3 (1,206) out of Top 10 — directly reflecting Hormuz blockade shock. US long-haul demand's strong resilience and high oil prices form contrast — may reflect corporate travel rigidity and ultra-long-range type (G700/Global 7500) delivery volume release. Confidence ★★★ (AviGo data + KG UAE drop-out corroboration).
