Tokyo Haneda RJTT Business Jet Movements Q1 Crash 24.2%, February Single-Month Decline Reaches 53.1% — Forms Ice-and-Fire Contrast With Seoul Gimpo +29.2%
Analysis
RJTT Q1 2026 business jet movements fell from 889 to 674 (−24.2%), with February the most shocking (292 → 137, −53.1%); January essentially flat (+1.1%), March −20.1%. Active fleet held in the 110–116 range, slightly down vs. 2025. By stark contrast, the East Asian peer hub Seoul Gimpo RKSS grew +29.2% YoY in the same period, accelerating month by month. RJTT's February anomaly may relate to Japan domestic policy, FX volatility, or absence of specific large events — but long-haul data shows Japan-departure flights over 5 hours actually grew +17.6% (216 → 254), indicating the decline concentrated in short/medium-haul regional routes. Confidence ★★ (multiple AviGo data sources cross-verification).
