For the FBO industry, aircraft movements are its lifeblood, and 2024 proved to be a stable year for business aviation. While the 3,630,600 business jet and turboprop departures in the U.S. were just a percentage point off from the previous year, they were still 23% above pre-pandemic totals, according to data from industry data analyst WingX Advance.

For Europe, departures were down less than 1% from 2023 and still nearly seven points above 2019 numbers. In the Caribbean region, however, business was booming: activity was up by 9.4% last year.
