If you see a private plane in the sky, there's a pretty good chance it's coming from -- or heading to -- New York City.
Of the most traveled private jet routes in 2013, seven out of the top 10 were flown either in or out of New York, according to Knight Frank's Wealth Report.
While jet setters were jumping in and out of the big apple most often, the report found that the most popular route was the trip from Moscow to the Cote d'Azur in the south of France.
The ranking of routes is based on data from NetJets, a subsidiary of Berkshire Hathaway (BRKA) that allows customers to charter or partially own private planes.
About 60% of private jet traffic starts and ends in the U.S., the report showed, mostly centered around New York, Miami and Palm Beach. Europe follows, with customers mostly traveling between London, the south of France and Moscow. The Middle East is the third-largest market. Once China relaxes its regulations around private aviation, the report's authors expect traffic to explode in the region.
When it comes to what routes were fastest growing in 2013, the list gets a bit more unexpected. The fasted growing route was from the Cote d'Azur to New York, followed by Maiquetia, Venezuela, to Miami.
