There were 159 business jet aircraft added to the fleet since March, though some operators have reported that owners are instructing them to fly less charter to preserve the crews and aircraft for personal use. 

The Part 135 volume is up just over 500 flights in the past two weeks, which is almost exactly the same increase in week-over-week volume from 2019. 

The Part 91 trend is also following suit with a similar week-over-week increase. 

Large cabin aircraft are now within 1.6% of the hours they flew year to date in 2019 and are on track to beat that number before the end of the year. Every other size class has been well ahead of 2019 for some time. Traffic in Teterboro is tracking with 2019 volumes at this point. We are also seeing higher volumes at other big city airports, indicating the business travel is a bigger portion of the flying than it has been earlier in the year.

There is no question that summer is over with many of the summer leisure destinations reporting big drops in volume with West Hampton being no exception. Do note that volume for FOK is still 55% above 2019 however.One exception to the traditional seasonal downturn is Hilton Head, which spiked in the past week and is trending 48% above 2019 volumes for the year to date.
