New data for the first quarter of 2025 three-month period from Aviation Week Network’s Tracked Aircraft Utilization shows that Corporate, Fractional, Charter and Private class operators all surpassed their hourly utilization performance against the same periods of 2024 and 2019.

The total hours for Corporate operators – the largest of the four operator classes – came to just over 915,000 hrs. during the quarter, +3% YoY and 14% above the same period of 2019.
