International Bizav Accidents: 10-year Review

An AIN review of aviation accidents worldwide between 2010 and 2020 revealed that business jets were involved in 300 crashes, of which less than a quarter—68—were fatal, resulting in the deaths of 317 people. The review also showed that business turboprops suffered 610 crashes, of which nearly a third—199—were fatal, costing 702 lives.

Private operations accounted for the largest number of accidents, as well as the vast majority of flying hours. According to AIN research, 206 business jet accidents—some 70 percent of the total—occurred under Part 91 regulations, of which 47, just shy of a quarter of all private flight accidents, ended in fatalities. As for business turboprops, 369—or about 60 percent of the total number of crashes—were flying as private missions. Of these accidents, fatalities occurred in 115—or just over 31 percent.
