WingX: Russia, Turkey Drag Down European Bizav Flying
Overall, there were 74,689 business aviation departures in Europe last month, with the UK and France being the “main growth impetus."

Business aircraft activity in Europe relapsed last month by 0.9 percent year-over-year, “mainly due to private jet owners flying less, particularly from Russia and Turkey, with heavy jet activity in general falling sharply,” according to a report released today by WingX Advance. “There is no doubt some wariness of the elevated terrorist threat, reflected in markedly less activity at major airports, with Nice obviously affected,” noted WingX managing director Richard Koe.
