Euro Bizav Flights Up, but Ukraine Crisis Still a Drag
63,308 business aircraft flights recorded in Europe last month, but the Ukraine crisis held down the increase to only 1.9 percent YOY.

“The long-awaited recovery in business aviation activity in Europe looks well set in Western Europe,” noted Richard Koe, managing director for Hamburg, Germany-based business aviation research and consulting firm WingX Advance. There were 63,308 business aircraft flights in Europe last month, a year-over-year increase of 1.9 percent that he describes as “narrow because of the continued negative repercussions of the Ukraine crisis,” he added. “Unfortunately this situation will not improve any time soon.”
