Last months One Question Survery was:
During the COVID-19 quarantine/shut down period has activity at your local airport, when compared to the pre-COVID timeframe:
Answers:
Decreased 59.68%
Stayed about the same 33.87%
Increased 6.45%
-At first when the stay at home edict came out the airport activity was almost zero. Since then the activity has picked up and back to normal. Restaurant reopening helped.
-Shutdown of flight school was total, however, as restrictions eased, the activity sharply increased. The FBO remained open but this reliever airport had minimal business jet activity, which has increased dramatically since eased restrictions.
-Activity has picked up lately and is almost back to normal
-Decreased overall but lately i.e. has improved. No fly- in breakfasts have hurt.
-Initially decreased, particularly corporate aircraft, but now is back to normal levels.
-Initially decreased but in the past 3-4 weeks, traffic (particularly international pilot training company on field) has increased incrementally. We are at about 75% of pre-COVID levels.
-Flying itself had nothing to do with Covid-19. It was the flying activities we cherish and excuses made to enjoy our activity that were shut down that grounded all activities. Now that we are all slowly opening up hopefully we can use this as an excuse to get up and go; And the gasoline prices won’t trend up as fast as our climb out!
