Knight Frank, the leading independent global property consultancy, has launched its landmark 20th edition of The Wealth Report, identifying a clear shift in how the world’s wealthiest individuals, live, work and travel. Increasingly, global wealth is defined by multi-location living, supported by greater long-haul mobility and more frequent movement between key financial and lifestyle hubs.
High-net-worth individuals are increasingly owning homes and operating businesses and dividing their time across multiple locations – driving a rise in private aviation activity. Private aviation data from VistaJet, the first and only global private aviation company, confirms rising activity across a range of routes linking financial centres and lifestyle destinations.
According to VistaJet private aviation data, in 2025, the fastest-growing international private jet corridors included:
These increases highlight the expanding links between emerging financial centres, established capitals and high-value lifestyle markets.
While established routes such as New York-London and New York-Miami continue to lead in overall traffic, VistaJet data shows that the sharp growth in less traditional pairings that underscores the shift towards multi-location living.
Among private jet route pairings seeing the sharpest growth in 2025 are:
“Drawing on VistaJet’s proprietary global flight data, we see global wealth becoming increasingly mobile, with clients living across multiple cities and continents. Demand for long-haul travel between emerging and established financial hubs is rising, alongside the continued importance of high-frequency European routes. At the same time, the customer profile is shifting, with more first-time flyers under 45, reflecting a younger, globally minded generation of wealth creators. Together, these trends highlight how wealth is being lived today — with seamless global connectivity now essential, and private aviation playing a central role in enabling multi-location living.”
Ian Moore, Chief Commercial Officer at VistaJet
“The profile of private jet users is changing. As confirmed by VistaJet data, a record 47% of their first-time private jet flyers are now under 45, pointing to the growing influence of newer mobile wealth. This increasingly mobile generation is reshaping residential demand, purchasing homes across multiple cities and lifestyle destinations rather than relaying on a single primary base. As a result, we are seeing sustained demand for prime residential property in well-connected global hubs and high-quality second-home markets.”
