Analysis
SPJC Q1 2026 business jet movements at 299, YoY −24.1% vs. Q1 2025's 394. Full-year 2025 showed seasonal pattern with Q4 peak (451) and Q3 trough (306). Type mix dominated by King Air 200 (398 movements, 55% of Top 5 combined) — fitting Peru domestic short-haul and high-altitude route demand. Domestic connection cities (San Bartolo, Tarapoto, Arequipa, Cusco) dominate; international routes led by Buenos Aires (departures 35 + arrivals 32), São Paulo, Miami, Panama City. Whether Q1 2026's sharp decline is seasonal volatility or structural contraction requires continued Q2 data tracking. Confidence ★★ (AviGo data sufficient; macro factors pending cross-verification).
