Analysis
Q1 2026 WSSL (Singapore Seletar) business jet movements at 1,345, YoY +3.5%; WMKK + WMKJ (Kuala Lumpur dual airports) combined just 165, YoY −11.8%. WSSL-Kuala Lumpur multiple gap widened from Q1 2025's 6.9x to 8.2x. VistaJet substantially expanded at WSSL (145 → 218, +50.3%) — firmly retains top operator; but at Kuala Lumpur fell from 11 to 4. By type, G450 replaced G650ER as WSSL #1 (174); G650ER declined at both locations. Tag Aviation Asia newly entered WSSL Top 4 — reflecting Singapore hub's continued appeal to regional operators.
