Customers wanting to fly out of Moscow and London dominate executive charter demand for larger business jets in Europe, according to the latest statistics from Swedish charter booking software specialist Avinode. Some 120 brokers across Europe and Russia are using the company’s Pax system, and in the three months from August to October it handled 24,616 searches (up 17 percent on the May through July period) and 9,011 flight requests (a 9-percent increase).
Demand for flights out of the UK and Russian capitals was mainly for larger aircraft such as Challengers and Falcon 900s, collectively accounting for close to 22 percent of all bookings. The London-area airports also topped the Avinode rankings for midsize aircraft charters, being the starting point for fully 14 percent of all departures. The data shows Farnborough increasing in popularity as a departure airport for light and midsize jets, with Luton still popular among larger jet customers.
