Following a year in which the business jet fleet experienced its highest level of fatalities in decades, it is encouraging to report there were no fatalities anywhere involving business jets in the first quarter of this year, according to AIN research. Nine people lost their lives in three crashes worldwide in the same period last year. Preliminary data showed that in the first three months of 2014 five people perished in two fatal crashes of U.S.-registered business jets (both operating under Part 91) and that four people died in one crash of a non-N-numbered business jet operating as a private flight.
