Over the 12 months between Sept. 1, 2021, and Aug. 31, 2022, eight people died in two accidents of U.S.-registered business jets being operated under Part 91 and 19 people lost their lives in three crashes of non-U.S.-registered business jets flying charters. There were no fatal accidents involving U.S.-registered business jets being used for Part 135 on-demand charter flights, according to AIN research. In all, there were 188 accidents and 98 investigated incidents involving turbine business airplanes worldwide.

In the 12-month period, fatal and non-fatal accidents involving business jets worldwide totaled 35, of which 20 occurred during private operations (Part 91 in the U.S.). Business turboprops were involved in 64 accidents worldwide, nearly double that of jets, and resulted in 62 fatalities, nearly 2.5 times more than in jet mishaps.
