📺 The Pulse of the Map

Top 3 Arrival Airports:

1.       Paris Le Bourget (LFPB) – 3,216 arrivals

2.       Nice Côte d’Azur (LFMN) – 2,493 arrivals

3.       Geneva Cointrin (LSGG) – 1,641 arrivals

What do they have in common? Mediterranean mood, champagne-ready aprons, and aircraft parking that runs out before patience.

🔀 Most-Flown Routes

The skies between Paris, Nice, and Geneva were in overdrive:

LFPB ↔ LFMN: 351 flights total

LFPB ↔ LSGG: 315 flights

These triangle connections hint at a pattern: the Riviera still rules summer travel.

Aircraft Segment Breakdown

Light Jets and Turboprops continue to carry the bulk, but this month, Super Midsize Jets and Ultra Long-Range segments showed steady traction — suggesting longer-range travel is creeping back into favor.

Biggest contributor? Not a jet — but the Pilatus PC-12, dominating with 6,663 arrivals and showing once again that short hops still rule the mission board.

Certification Snapshot

The breakdown is telling:

·     50% Commercial (Part 135)

·     36% Private (Part 91)

·     14% Fractional ownership

It’s a balanced month — charter and ownership walking side by side into summer.

Jet of the Month: Bombardier Global 5000

This June, our spotlight shines on the Global 5000 — a jet that doesn’t just fly far, it flies with presence.

With 1,093 flights, an average sector time of 2.1 hours, and a trip distance close to 1,500 km, it’s the go-to aircraft for crossing borders with style.

But numbers don’t do it justice.

What makes the Global 5000 special is how it makes long-range travel feel like a short nap. Quiet cabin. Smooth ride. Range to cross Europe and beyond without thinking twice.
From executives to artists, the G5000 isn’t just a plane — it's an extension of the boardroom (or the living room).

📌Observations of the Month:

• United Kingdom dominates internal travel, with 4,222 flights recorded UK-to-UK. London’s skies remain some of the busiest.

• Reykjavik (BIRK) lights up unexpectedly in the top route charts, showing surprising intra- Icelandic connectivity.

• Short is sweet: majority of trips under 2 hours — proving that in business aviation, speed often beats luxury.

June reminded us that private aviation isn’t just about movement — it’s about momentum.
From regional routes to cross-border hops, Europe’s skies are buzzing within tent, efficiency, and opportunity.

As a brokerage at the heart of this ecosystem, we’re hereto track the shifts, connect the players, and make the next move clearer — and smarter.

Until next time,
