With a surge in the latter half of 2021, business aviation flight activity in North America sailed past 2020 levels by 40.9 percent and eclipsed pre-pandemic results in 2019  by 7.2 percent, according to Argus International’s 2021 Business Aviation Review. “We ended 2020 saying that it was a year unlike anything we had before and now we wrap up 2021 with the same thought but in a dramatically different way,” Argus reflected in its 2021 overview of TraqPak data, which tracks IFR business aircraft flights in North America.
