Analyzing the Global Business Jet Charter Market

The global business aviation charter market has undergone a significant transformation, shaped by shifting customer demographics, regional growth, digital disruption, and the lasting effects of Covid on how and why people fly privately. WINGX's latest analysis of charter activity set the stage for a candid panel discussion with three experts who live and breathe this market every day.

Panelists:

• Doug Gollan, Founder and Editor, Private Jet Card Comparisons
• Andy Christie, Group Executive Jets Director, Air Charter Service
• Algernon Trotter, Founder and CEO, Luminair, and veteran Director of Charter Sales, Air Hamburg

From fleet managers and brokers to OEMs, ground suppliers, and investors, this session was built for anyone who needs a grounded, data-backed view of where charter stands and where it is going.

What the panel covered:

• The defining characteristics of the charter market in 2025 and how to read the activity data
• What has structurally changed in the charter business since pre-Covid — and what those changes mean long-term
• The tailwinds building behind global charter demand as the industry moves into 2026
• Regional hotspots, high-activity airports, and the aircraft categories driving the most volume
• The headwinds, competitive threats, and demand risks operators and brokers need to watch
• How charter stacks up against fractional and other alternatives in today's market
• The customer profiles and mission types that will carry the charter business forward
• What separates the charter operators and brokers positioned to succeed in 2026
