We are flat out, busier than pre-Covid, no signs of it slowing down.

I don't foresee that changing for anyone well staffed.

Busier than ever. Balls out.

Although one of the accountants told me their HST refund was rejected because the auditor at CRA determined that flying private was "too extravagant" can't wait until the tax lawyers get ahold of that one...This will set a dangerous precedent if its not fought and won. With the Luxury tax and now this, The Canadian gov't really hates rich people and progress. disgusting.

I did my due diligence about possibly working at a few management companies, I dropped the subject but they always seem to be hiring particularly one larger one. Are they really growing that fast or is it just high turnover area of the industry?

There's some turnover, particularly on light jets. But mostly yes, the growth since the onset of covid is unbelievable. Don't know anyone working at a management company that isn't growing.

Even busier than it was 6 months ago for heavy international jets us out here in YVR.

For the super mid size to smaller jets charter demand seems to be high, owner flying is steady.

With new airframes arriving on a steady basis, though, it’s generally busier than I’ve ever seen and I’ve been in yvr for 30 yrs.

It’s a yes and no thing. Some areas are thriving some are disappearing

Is the domestic flying ban in France happening anywhere else in the world?

Doesn’t apply to corporate aircraft from what I’ve heard. Mind you their ATC is on strike so often, no one is flying.

Apparently Amsterdam Schipol is trying to ban all GA.

In terms of business this year has been slightly slower than last so far - owner flying similar, less charter which is fine by me! Heavy jet YYZ

Private owner, we are busier than pre-Covid times, with no signs of slowing down.

Thankfully, it seems like the France ban on GA is not happening.

Still busy in YVR, especially the heavy corp jets. They go more or less non stop, but smaller jets also still busy.

Heavy corporate jet YYZ based and we're very busy, aircraft management company we operate under is continually adding aircraft to the fleet. So far no signs of anything slowing down really.
