Riyadh OERK Business Jet Traffic Plunges 48.3% MoM in March (Daily Average 20.7 to 10.7), While Jeddah OEJN Inches Up Just 2.5% — Saudi 'Dual-Hub' Configuration Shows Extreme Seasonal Divergence

In February 2026, OERK's daily average of 20.7 was 2.6x that of OEJN, but March plunged to 10.7, shrinking the gap to just 30%. OERK's February peak was likely driven by Riyadh's business season/major conferences (LEAP summit, Future Investment Initiative, etc.), with March returning to baseline. OEJN, by contrast, as a dual religious/commercial center, shows extremely rigid traffic (199 to 204 movements, virtually no fluctuation). This means: (1) Charter pricing and capacity deployment toward Riyadh must adjust dramatically by monthly cycle, with the February premium window potentially reaching 100%; (2) Jeddah FBO and ground service investment returns are more predictable. Confidence: ★★ (AviGo dual-month data cross-verification; lacking KG event confirmation of specific driving factors).
