Business aviation flight activity last month soared 5.3% year over year (YOY) and 4.3% higher month over month, according to the latest TraqPak data from Argus International. Notably, this marks the second-highest month since January 2007, when Argus began tracking business aircraft utilization. Europe also posted its sixth positive month in a row, up 3.1%.
“October did not disappoint from a flight activity standpoint,” said Argus senior v-p, software Travis Kuhn. “This is traditionally the busiest month on the calendar, and this October we recorded the second-busiest month on record. Demand continues to look strong across the board, with the exception of large-cabin Part 135 flying…Some of the strongest days on the calendar year for Part 135 activity will take place over the next eight weeks, and it will be a good barometer to see if our overall growth levels can continue to go higher.”
