Auckland NZAA Business Jet Movements Q1 Slight −3.4%, ~82% of Departures Are Domestic — New Zealand Business Aviation Highly Internal-Looping

NZAA recorded 940 Q1 2026 business jet movements, YoY −3.4% (−33). Monthly performance diverged: January +0.9%, February +8.8%, March −16.8% dragged the quarter down. Of departures, 81.9% (381) had domestic destinations, with Australia only 35 (7.5%), US 16, China 8. Note: this domestic share applies only to outbound legs, not total movements. This extremely high domestic-departure share means NZAA business aviation demand is almost entirely locally driven, with limited international connectivity. For charter operators or FBO investors considering New Zealand market entry: this is a limited-scale, highly self-contained market with thin international long-haul demand.
