After a year of jittery one-step-forward-one-step-backwards recovery in 2010, FBOs in Europe generally saw more sustained increases in traffic over the first quarter of 2011. Growth in other international markets outside the Americas was stronger, but in most cases only because it is building on a fairly low foundation.

Compared with one year ago when AIN was preparing last year’s special report on international FBOs, the outlook for those in the business aviation handling sector is certainly rosier this spring. The uptick in optimism for this niche business is manifest in a number of FBO acquisitions, partnerships and expansions around the world.
