Summer 2015: Our Top 5 European destinations & prices
The summer months in Europe bring an increase in private jet charter demand, with July being the busiest month overall. But major spikes are also seen in May, June, August and September. This is different to the pattern in the USA where demand is more even year-round.
This is due to more leisure usage of private jets over this period: For holidays; weekend breaks; to commute to second homes or yachts.
Or for those attending some of the high profile VIP sports, cultural and lifestyle events that are concentrated in these months. Such as the Cannes Film Festival; Monaco and British Grand Prix; Champions League Final; Wimbledon and French Open Tennis; Art Basel; and premier horse racing and polo events.
