Lead
Avi-Go’s snapshot for 14–20 September 2026 counts 69,257 business-aviation flights, up 3.54% from the previous week. Activity sat in the major hubs, and New York led airport activity overall. The weekly is a volume report. It is not a price, and it is not a statement that any particular tail is free.
Where the flights were
By region, the busiest airports in the snapshot were New York Teterboro (KTEB) with 3,403 flights, up 1.16% week over week and 22.28% year over year; Paris Le Bourget (LFPB) with 985 flights, down 10.05% week over week and 3.43% year over year; and Singapore Seletar (WSSL) with 174 flights, down 4.92% week over week and 5.43% year over year.
Away from those three leaders, Washington was up 71.03% week over week and Las Vegas was up 34.78% year over year. The snapshot gives those two as growth lines and does not publish a base count or a single airport code for either city, so this brief does not assign one. Teterboro’s week-over-week change is nearly flat. The 22.28% year-over-year figure is the one that shows how busy the New York market still was against the prior September.
City pairs, operators, and hours
The busiest city pairs were Las Vegas–Los Angeles at 204 flights, up 38.78% week over week and 25.15% year over year; Abuja–Lagos at 102, up 82.14% week over week and 6.25% year over year; and Jakarta–Singapore at 42, up 7.69% week over week and 35.48% year over year.
NetJets Aviation led the Americas with 8,114 flights, up 4.85% week over week. NetJets Europe led its region with 1,519 flights, down 2.82%. Vista Jet Ltd led Asia-Pacific with 77 flights, up 5.48%. Hours followed a familiar fleet: the Challenger 300 series flew 9,160.67 hours in the Americas, the Citation Excel, XLS, and XLS+ flew 1,861.92 hours in Europe, the Middle East, and Africa, and the Gulfstream G650ER flew 514.82 hours in Asia-Pacific.
Fast movers, and the prior week
Avi-Go’s fastest-growth lines for the week were the Dallas–Oxford city pair, up 328.57%; the operator Jetright, up 102.78%; and Moline as a departure city, up 153.85%. The snapshot names Dallas–Oxford that way and does not give an airport code for Oxford, so this brief does not invent one. It also does not publish the flight counts under those three percentages. A large weekly percentage on an unnamed base is a flag to look up, not a forecast.
Set next to Avi-Go’s prior snapshot — 66,886 flights, up 6.24% in the week of 7–13 September — this week’s 3.54% rise is a smaller overall gain. Le Bourget went from 1,095 flights and a 12.08% week-over-week rise to 985 flights and a 10.05% decline. Seletar went from 182 flights, up 32.85%, to 174, down 4.92%. Teterboro stayed on a high base, 3,403 after 3,364, with the week-over-week pace cooling from 38.27% to 1.16%.
What Jet Intelligence readers should take away
Use 69,257 flights, Teterboro’s 3,403, NetJets Aviation’s 8,114, and the Challenger 300 series’ 9,160.67 hours as the shape of 14–20 September. A busy Las Vegas–Los Angeles pair means those cities were active in the snapshot. It does not hold an aircraft. Price the trip from the operator’s reply.
