Four Major US Business Jet Hubs See Late-March Movements Surge 16–22% YoY — Houston KHOU Leads at +11.7%, KTEB Constrained to Just +4.2% by Capacity, Spillover Effects Push KHPN and KPDK to +9–10%
Analysis
★★ AviGo data + industry benchmark cross-verification. March 2026 four airports (KTEB/KHPN/KHOU/KPDK) combined 28,617 movements, YoY +7.67%, significantly above the WingX-reported global 5% benchmark. Intra-month pattern shows typical second-half acceleration: first two weeks YoY -1.1%/-3.6%, third week suddenly jumped to +21.8%, fourth week +16.1%. KTEB as the nation's busiest business jet airport grew only 4.2%, constrained by slot and parking capacity ceilings; KHOU led at +11.7%, reflecting Houston's energy economy's strong business jet demand support; KHPN (+9.4%) and KPDK (+10.1%) outperformance partially stems from KTEB overflow traffic. For FBO operators, the expansion investment return window for KHOU and KPDK is opening.
