Global business aircraft flight activity last month climbed 3.2% year over year (YOY), despite a 6.5% erosion in European traffic, according to the latest TraqPak data from Argus International. Flying in North America ticked up 2.4%, while in the rest of the world it soared by 17%. For this month, Argus analysts are projecting a 0.2% YOY increase in North American activity and a 3.8% decrease in Europe.

“April provided us with a pleasant surprise and produced a monthly gain. Prior to the start of the month, all trends seemed to point to a slightly flat to negative month amid all the economic uncertainty,” said Argus senior v-p of software Travis Kuhn. “Even North American large jets and Part 91 operations managed to produce gain in activity.”
