Accidents
January, February Accidents Surpass All of 1Q19
First-quarter accident numbers hint at a significant drop in accidents due to Covid-19 restrictions in the second quarter.

All but one of the reported 13 accidents of U.S.-registered business jets and turboprops in the first quarter of this year occurred in January and February—before the Covid-19 virus started grounding business aviation in March. Nevertheless, the accidents, fatalities, and incidents involving U.S.-registered turbine business airplanes in those two months exceeded the number of mishaps in all three months of the first quarter last year, according to preliminary data compiled by AIN.
