Business aviation in May saw a slight increase over the 2018 year-over-year period, according to statistics released by Argus International in its latest TRAQPak aircraft activity report. North American (U.S., Canada, and the Caribbean) flights bumped over 270,000 for the month, the first time it had reached that peak since 2008, just prior to the global economic downturn.
