Kigali Business Jet Movements Essentially Flat (−6.4%); Nairobi Route Holds 25% of Departures — East Africa Corridor Performance Relatively Stable

Rwanda Kigali (HRYR) January 1 – May 14, 2026 business jet movements 73 vs. 78 in same period of 2025 — just −6.4% — showing relative resilience. Departure destinations highly concentrated on Nairobi (12 movements, 25% of departures); next are Brazzaville, Maputo, Mauritius, and Entebbe. By comparison, same-region Entebbe (HUEN) same-period data shows substantial decline, but 2025 Entebbe high base (592 movements) may have special event factors or data categorization differences (e.g. non-business-jet flight miscount); that decline (−82.4%) should not be treated as definitive conclusion before verifying 2025 base accuracy. Kigali's stability as East African business aviation node warrants attention, but absolute volume still extremely small (monthly average ~15 movements) — FBO investment return cycle is long. Confidence ★★ (Avi-Go Kigali data clear; Entebbe 2025 high base accuracy and classification standards pending verification).
