Charter Pricing Stable, Demand Down

Thursday, January 20th, 2011

With the holidays over, demand for private charter flights has predictably decreased on a month-over-month basis. Projected demand for the next 30 days stands at 91.90 on the index employed by online charter portal Avinode. That’s about half the level of 181.04 recorded on December 3. Nevertheless, there was an early indicator of longer-term recovery in the charter market since this year’s index was in fact up more than 26 points from 12 months ago. The latest Avinode forecast also suggests that pricing levels are holding up better. The global pricing index currently stands at 97.37, up almost a point from a month ago and more than six points above last year’s figure.

Holidays Drive Up Aircraft Charter Demand

Friday, December 3rd, 2010

Seasonal holiday-driven traffic provoked a steep spike in demand for private charter flights. According to the latest forward-looking index from online charter portal Avinode, projected demand for this month was more than 75 points up on the November 1 level at 167.35. The December 1 index was almost 80 points above that recorded on the same day last year. There was more continuity in Avinode’s price index, which shows rates marginally up globally and in Europe, and very slightly down in the U.S. market. In North America, the average flight hour price for a Cessna Citation Excel stood at €2,428 ($3,180); Hawker 800, €2,530 ($3,314); and Challenger 604, €3,753 ($4,916). In international markets, the average rates for these types were €2,749 ($3,601), €3,260 ($4,270) and €4,836 ($6,335), respectively.
