WingX U.S. airport traffic chart
WingX data show business jet activity at several key U.S. airports rising in the week ending on November 24.

Worldwide business jet departures in the week ending on November 24 were 13% higher than the same seven-day period in 2023 at 74,156, according to the latest WingX Global Market Tracker. Releasing the data on November 28, the company attributed the higher traffic to the U.S. Thanksgiving holiday falling later in the month.

According to WingX, the flight activity trend for the latest four-week period tracked is 3% higher than last year. However, its year-to-date statistics through November 24 were 1% lower than the same period in 2023.
