Argus: Fractional Flying Bounces Back in April
Business aircraft flying continued its upward trend in April 2014, climbing 1.4 percent year-over-year.
While business aircraft flying continued its upward trajectory in April, the big news was that year-over-year activity at the fractionals rose for the first time since September 2011. In fact, fractional light jet flying, which includes Learjet 45s at Flexjet, soared by 38.2 percent from April 2013. (Photo: Flexjet)

Though TraqPak data released today by aviation services company Argus indicates that business aircraft flying continued its upward trend last month, climbing 1.4 percent year-over-year, this wasn’t the big news. “The bigger story was the turnaround in the fractional market, which posted the first year-over-year increase since September 2011,” Argus said.
