An average private jet passenger journey emits around seven times as much greenhouse gases as the same journey made in business class, around ten times as much as an economy class flight and 150 times as much as an equivalent journey made by high speed rail!

Exactly. I get that it’s more convenient to use a private jet but it’s just not sustainable. We need to put our planet first! It’s also a lot cheaper to fly business or first class than to take a private jet.

On the logic that you want the maximum number of passengers on the plane to reduce the emissions per person then presumably you plan to outlaw first class and business class seats too?

Nonsense. Why are you peddling lies to the public? Man-made climate warming is insignificant. Greenhouse gas effect is pseudoscience. How and why:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XfRBr7PEawY …

Exactly the same profound damage that
@UKLabour would facilitate by their support for energy guzzling, elitist#HS2 and@Transport4North Northern Powerhouse Rail & the associated TfN major road development schemes that are designed to feed airport expansion.pic.twitter.com/h35Ydc1TFv

How does that make any sense? Are you saying a train would use more energy than a plane? If you are that is a giant LOL! Also there are plenty examples of public transport running on clean energy in the world - which also forms Labour and green party manifestos respectively

Hi Andy, I'm a journalist writing about private jets. Can we arrange a time to talk about this at some point over the next few days, please? Thanks!

The multi-millionaires & billionaires who have the money travel by private jet or own one are also paying salaries of manufacturers and thousands of people working in aviation all around the world....

Super rich can afford to invest in electric jets (electricity from renewable sources obviously)
