Saw this in a piece on the New Castle Airport in Delaware. Pretty much the only good bit of news in the entire article.

"XOJET, a California-based charter facility with a fleet of 25 planes and an East Coast base in New Castle, has seen some encouraging signs amid the gloom, said Alison McCauley, vice president of marketing. She said flying hours were down 28 percent in January, but flight hours booked for March are higher than any such month in the company's three-year history.
"We are still making great margins," she said, noting that many of her company's customers don't have the option of cutting back on private air travel. "We wouldn't offer the product if we weren't making margins."
Her company's planes are the 10-seat Challenger 300 and the nine-seat Cessna Citation 10. The company laid off some employees late last year, mostly in
finance and administration, but some pilots, too, she said. The company had forecast ambitious growth, and had to adjust to the new reality, McCauley said."
