Met Gala's NY Business Jet Flow Pull Effect Has Large Year-to-Year Volatility: 2024 Three Airports MoM +13.2%, 2025 Actually −4.6% — Event-Driven Forecasting Requires Caution
Analysis
AviGo data reveals Met Gala's impact on NY three-airport (KTEB/KHPN/KFRG) business jet arrival flow is not stable: 2024 event week (incl. pre-Met Gala arrival window) three-airport combined MoM +13.2% (+276); KTEB and KHPN both +15%. But 2025 event week actually declined 4.6% (−108); KTEB single airport −7.4%. 2025 baseline week absolute level (2,338) was 11.8% above 2024 — suggesting flow may have released early or window shifted (2025 Met Gala was a Monday; some arrivals may have landed on May 5). For charter brokers: Met Gala's flow pulse is less stable and predictable than Cannes Film Festival; pricing and capacity deployment need more flexibility. Confidence ★★ (AviGo two-year data, but lacks complete daily-data verification).
