WingX: World Bizav Traffic Slowly Rising
While far below its normal pace of operations, the global business aviation industry has shown increments of improvement of late.
As the business aviation segment slowly recovers, smaller aircraft such as the single-engine Pilatus PC-12 turboprop are seeing use while their intercontinental-range business jet counterparts remain largely idle, amidst the continuing Covid-19 pandemic.

Global business aviation traffic is down by 55 percent year-over-year as the industry continues dealing with the headwinds posed by the Covid-19 pandemic, according to the latest statistics released on Thursday by data provider WingX. In its weekly Global Market Tracker, the company noted that the 113,000 legs flown thus far in May stands in contrast to the 254,000 a year before. On average, 2,600 business aircraft were active each day in May, representing 44 percent of the number usually deployed.
