Industry briefs.

Short market notes for charter brokers and operators. They rewrite reported facts on fuel, flight activity, regulation, fleet changes, and the near-term industry calendar so a desk can see what changed. They are not how-to guides, and they are not a claim that Jet Intelligence dispatches flights or verifies a price. For RFQ practice, quote truth, and sourcing method, read the broker sourcing guides.
