Global private jet flight activity continued to show a year-over-year increase in Week 33, making it 17 weeks since a down week.
Worldwide private jet flight activity (74,318 segments) continued its upward trend in Week 33 with 6% year-over-year growth.
Private jet segments remained flat for the week ending August 17th, 2025.
So far, on a year-over-year basis, the scorecard shows:
Compared to week 33 of 2024, this past week represents a 6% increase in growth.
So far, in August, private jets have recorded 179,495 total flights.
This represents a 5% increase compared to the same period in August 2024.
Of these nearly 180,000 private jet flights, almost half of these flights are Part 91 operations, representing 84,249 flights. This is a 5% increase year-over-year.
Part 135 operations have recorded just under 60,000 flights, representing a 1% year-over-year increase.
The smallest portion of these flights is represented by Part 91K fractional operations, conducting 35,563 flights.
However, this represents an 11% year-over-year growth.
WingX Managing Director Richard Koe spoke about the continued success in the private aviation market this summer.
This week continued showing significant year-over-year growth.
Koe stated,
‘This week saw the 7th largest year-on-year increase in global business jet flights. The growth in fractional operations was even stronger, up 11% year on year. The popularity of the LABACE event reflected the growth of the Latin American market, which is now of similar size to Europe in terms of total business aviation activity. Overall global bizjet activity is heading for a strong Q3, up almost 4% versus last year.’
Although private jet flight activity remains strong year-over-year, global private jet activity remained flat compared to last week.
The United States saw a 1% week-over-week increase in private jet flight activity, with 49,802 flights. This represents a 5% increase compared to last year.
This increase can be attributed to California, representing a 10% week-over-week growth.
Florida saw the most significant decrease, flying only 4,229 private jet flights, down 2% from last year and 4% from last week.
Europe’s private jet activity was down about 5% week-over-week. Germany, France, Switzerland, and Italy each saw week-over-week decreases of at least 5%.
The UK was the only major country to represent week-over-week growth.
Even so, Europe recorded 11,697 private jet flights, which is a 3% increase compared to last year.
Other major markets saw year-over-year growth. The Middle East, Africa, and South America each saw double-digit gains compared to this week in 2024.
Asia also saw both week-over-week and year-over-year growth, flying 2,128 private jet flights.
Outside of Europe and North America, private jet activity grew by about 11% compared to last year. This represents continued growth in the emerging markets around the world.

In week 33, global fractional and charter operators saw positive trends.
Overall, these global operators recorded about 38,447 private jet flights, a 5% increase year-over-year. However, this was a slight decline from last week.
North American and US private jet flight activity remained steady compared to last week.
However, the US still saw a 7% increase compared to week 33 of 2024. This was driven by a steady increase in private jet flight activity from Texas.
Europe has continued to struggle in terms of private jet flights operated by fractional and charter operators.
Compared to last year, Europe is down by about 2%. This is attributed to several decreases from major markets like Germany, France, and Switzerland.
Even so, the UK and Italy also saw slight decreases, further bringing down total fractional and charter operations.
