Analysing the activities of business jets throughout April, WingX Advance charted the business aviation performance from all across the world. Picking up from the WingX data and ahead of the European Business Aviation Convention and Exhibition (EBACE) 2023, we take a look at how April turned out for business aviation in Europe.
With the gap closing between commercial airline activity in 2023 and 2019, business aviation trends are moving in the other direction, with just under 10 per cent gain in April 2023 versus April 2019. In the US, fractional operators are still hitting record levels of activity. In Europe, bizjet flights out of Germany and Austria are now trending well below 2019 levels, and activity in France is now flat compared to four years ago. Other countries inside and outside Europe, including Spain, Italy, Turkey, UAE, Israel, are still seeing strong gains in bizjet activity compared to 2019.
In Week 16 Global business jet activity fell two per cent compared to Week 15, six per cent fewer than the same dates in 2022. 1st – 24th April, business jet and turboprop sectors are seven per cent below last year, nine per cent ahead of 2019. Over the same period, scheduled airlines flew 1.6 million sectors, 16 per cent more than 2022, although 14 per cent below 2019. Focussing on business jets, sectors are down nine per cent compared to last April, 13 per cent ahead of 2019.
