Private jet usage at its highest amidst a wealth boom and post-Covid travel demand
Major private jet manufacturers are swimming in cash - or maybe, flying. Use of the elusive method of travel soared to its highest level on record in 2021, jumping to 7% greater than the previous record in 2019. This can be attributed to the wealth boom and a strong desire to travel post-Covid-19 lockdowns.
It’s important to note that private jets pollute 14 times more than commercial planes per passenger and are more than 50 times more pollutant than passenger trains.
