BizJet Activity Overview - Week 34 (19th – 25th August) US market heats up as European bizjet demand slows post-Olympics The late summer surge in the US compares to a post-Olympics slowdown in Europe, although Nice is still seeing strong growth, and there are record breaking levels of flight activity at Tivat in Montenegro. Global 70,242 business jet sectors flown globally, +1% vs w34 ´23 European bizjet activity -3% compared vs w34 ´23 Demand normalising after the Olympics-related surge. August’s trends match the last 4- week trend, Olympics hosts France🇫🇷 the top market, 7% year-on-year, growth. The UEFA EUROS uplift enjoyed in Germany🇩🇪 was short lived, bizjet activity this month in decline compared to the last 5 years. The top 3 markets, France🇫🇷, Italy🇮🇹 and the UK🇬🇧 account for a 43% market share of all bizjet departures this month. Post Olympics the European summer appears to be a mixed bag of activity. Olbia for example, seeing the highest levels of bizjet arrivals in the last 5 years, contrast Naples, where bizjet arrivals are half what they were. Santorini and Mikonos have seen a large drop in bizjet arrivals compared to 5 years ago, departures to these airports from Athens (LGAV) have dropped by over 70% compared to August 2019.

✈️ Direct vs. indirect flights during the Olympics 🌍 With the Olympics nearly over, people who travelled to Paris for the games will soon be heading home. What is the cost for people travelling home? We investigated the price of direct vs. indirect flights to/from Paris Charles de Gaulle (CDG) during the Olympics period for some of the countries currently topping the medal table. We found that while direct flights from China, South Korea, and Japan are significantly more expensive compared to indirect flights with one layover, direct flights from the U.S. and Canada have much less of a premium compared to indirect flights. What factors could be driving these differences? Are North American travellers are more flexible? Is it because of remaining flight availability or the relative supply of direct to indirect flights?    I'd love to hear your thoughts and insights on this! What do you think might be influencing these pricing trends?   #AirfareAnalysis #Olympics2024 #TravelTrends #AviationIndustry #DataInsights

Air France, the national carrier of France, is preparing itself for a blow of €180 million as tourists plan to avoid Paris due to the upcoming Olympics. With it being the first Olympics hosted in Paris in the last 100 years, the area is being flocked by Olympic enthusiasts, causing overcrowding, increased prices for hotels and restaurants, a surge in footfall at tourist attractions, etc. All of this is causing regular tourists, who want to visit Paris for the city and not for the Olympics, to stay away from the capital until the hype dies down. https://lnkd.in/gyDrt6Hm
