Worldwide business jet operations totaled 4.28 million arrivals and departures in 2015, a 1.5 percent increase from 2014.

That’s according to the Federal Aviation Administration’s Business Jet Report for January 2016.

The report showed that the overall gain in operations came in the U.S., which was up 2.05 percent from 2014. International operations in 2015 were down 3.32 percent from the year before, the report said.
