Meanwhile, Wheels Up’s year-on-year performance for the three-month period was down 38%.

Flexjet stands out, showing a 18% YoY increase during the focused period. The carrier’s total is also up 119% compared to the same period from 2019-20.

Significantly larger in fleet size to the other featured operators, NetJets cumulated just under 200,000 hrs. during the three-month period.
