In Europe, statistics showed high interest for private jet users focused in London, Moscow, and Nice-Cote d’Azur. The passengers used routes between these cities. China’s private aviation market is also expected to grow once the government relaxes its set of laws. Currently, the third largest market is the Middle East.

Many might wonder the reasoning behind the link between LFMN and KTEB, as many of the other routes used by private jet passengers usually link the major business hubs. The answer is simple: “It’s the Russians. They like to mix business with pleasure”. “There are so many Russians who own properties in the Nice/ Cote d’Azur area of France. They frequently travel to the states and London for business.” said Liam Bailey, the global head of research.
One of the noticed and unexpected growths is the Texas market. Most of the VIP flights out of Texas are for business, and not recreational purposes. More than half of these fliers are people who made the switch from commercial flights.
Also, one of the locations that didn’t make it on our top 5 charts is also experiencing very high demands. Ibiza notice an almost 20% increase in traffic over the past year.
As these fastest growing flights are expected to stay steady for the near future, with an exception to Russia as its situation develops with Ukraine. The 15% decline was noticed since last summer.
