That aligns roughly with the stats you can look at on Fightradar24. They say that worldwide commercial flights in April were down at just above 25% of last years figures, though they are now slowly rising.
I guess if you've got a plane you use it 100% or not at all. 
The quietest day in the air (for a very very long time) was 12th April, but that was also Easter Sunday.
It was also our 45th wedding anniversary and we were supposed to be on Iona and Staffa (seeing Fingal's cave). Which obviously we weren't.....
