Argus International has reported a 1% increase in first-quarter business aircraft flight activity. This growth, while slight, signals a shift in trends following more than two years of consistent declines, offering a glimpse of optimism for the sector moving forward.

“First-quarter 2025 is in the history books and, even with some lingering economic uncertainty, we managed to gain 1% after two-plus years of consistent declines in this three-month period,” said Argus senior v-p of software Travis Kuhn. “Fractional and Part 135 activity have started the year in positive territory, but Part 91 and overall large-cabin activity continue to be underperforming segments. All things considered, we’re in pretty good shape as an industry so far.”
