Business Aviation is a traffic sector which is growing and changing rapidly. It has, however, been rela-tively poorly documented and, therefore, it has been selected as the subject of the first volume in this new series of Trends in Air Traffic. Called Getting to the Point, the report provides a view of business aviation from the air traffic perspective. We believe this report will be a useful contribution that will support the drive for greater safety and capacity in European airspace.

This is a time of change for business aviation in Europe. New business models have been gaining ground in the USA for some years. Although the legal, social and geographical conditions are differ-ent, these new business models are being increas-ingly adapted for use in Europe. The result is that the business aviation segment is growing faster than the overall air traffic market. However, this growth is not uniform, so we need to ask where the growth will be and how much?
Taxiing to the runway today is a new breed of air-craft. The first ‘very light jets’ (VLJ) will come into service this year, many in business aviation roles. But how many will there be in Europe and where will they fly?
In 2005, 6.9% of all instrument flight rules (IFR) flights in Europe were business aviation. Since 2001, this segment has grown twice as fast as the rest of the traffic. Flights by business jets are growing par-ticularly strongly, 8.9% in 2005, as new business models enable growth that is driven by the needs of the global economy, by increasing profits and pros-perity, and by a growing acceptance of the econom-ic benefits. Regulation and lack of infrastructure, however, mean that the traffic volumes seen in the US are unlikely to be seen in Europe in the near future.
Business aviation is the real point-to-point form of air travel. This generates time savings which make it a commercial proposition, not a luxury. But it also spreads the already small volumes of traffic amongst a large number of small airports: only 30% of busi-ness aviation departures are from airports with more than 100 IFR departures/day. Providing appropriate infrastructure at other small airports then becomes the challenge.
