ARGUS publishes white paper that reveals strong comeback
An ARGUS International white paper says that May 2020 recorded an 84 per cent increase in activity from April in North America, which means the industry has already made up a third of its losses from COVID-19.

ARGUS International has released its analysis of the disruption caused by COVID-19 on business aviation flight activity. The publication, titled ‘Is Business Aviation Cleared for Takeoff? A Look at COVID-19's Continued Impact’ is available for immediate download from its web site and outlines the continued impact that the global pandemic is having on the business aviation community and the longer-term predictions.

“The COVID-19 pandemic is still having a dramatic impact on the aviation industry", says CEO Joe Moeggenberg. “Using real-time and historical TRAQPak flight tracking data, our aviation analysts took an objective, data-driven look into how this prolonged pandemic has altered business aviation traffic and provides a forecast for future activity.”

As the white paper outlines, May 2020 recorded an 84 per cent increase in activity from April in North America, which means the industry has already made up a third of its losses from COVID-19. June is looking just as strong.

The white paper is a follow-up to the webinar ‘Grounded: Navigating the Continued Impact of COVID-19 on Business Aviation Flight Activity’. “This white paper offers a unique opportunity for the business aviation industry to gain updated data and projections,” explains Travis Kuhn, VP of market intelligence at ARGUS. “We believe this white paper will provide much-needed answers to the aviation industry during these uncertain times.”
