Brazil Business Jet Flow São Paulo Dual-Airport Divergence: Congonhas −16%, Jacarepaguá +10%
Analysis
January 1 – May 8, 2026, SBSP (Congonhas) business jet movements at 4,501 — YoY −16.3%; decline magnitude expanded month by month to early-May −37.6%. SBJD (Jacarepaguá) 4,766 — YoY +10.3%; January–March growth strong (+12% to +26%), but April–May turned negative. SBBR (Brasília) essentially flat (+1.2%); January–February strong growth then April–May pullback. Three airports combined slight −2.7%. Structure shows clear Congonhas → Jacarepaguá migration trend, possibly related to SBSP operating restrictions or SBJD facility upgrades. Global 8000, although completing South American debut at Catarina Aviation Show, was not detected in flight records at any of the three airports (may relate to type code matching). Confidence ★★ (Avi-Go data sufficient; KG show event corroborates market attention).
