Four fatal U.S.-registered business jet accidents, three of them while under Part 91 personal flights, claimed the lives of nine people in the first half of this year versus zero such fatalities in all of 2022. Separately, two people were killed in one non-U.S-registered special missions business jet accident in the first six months, compared with six who perished in one non-U.S-registered charter jet crash in the same period last year. 

On January 2, an Embraer Phenom 300 crashed after the pilot lost control during takeoff from Provo, Utah, on a planned Part 91 flight. The pilot was killed and the three passengers were injured. Weather was day IMC.
