A 6 percent increase in business jet activity last month in Europe wasn’t enough to keep overall business aircraft flying from falling one percent year-over-year, according to the latest data from WingX Advance. “December’s flight activity was slightly down, but that appears to have been weather-related, mainly affecting owner-piloted light aircraft activity,” said WingX managing director Richard Koe.
