This year there is a record in the use of private jets. In the face of Greta
Every day we talk about climate, overheating, CO2. testimonials are often VIPs, those who this year have reached a record of use of
And now, thanks to @CelebJets and @ElonJet Twitter accounts, we know when people like Kylie Jenner, Taylor Swift or Elon Musk take to the skies in their private jets. That was the theme of a new Wall Street Journal report released over the weekend that analyzed reactions to the use of private jets.
Twitter accounts make the world participate in every flight, even those like the 17-minute flight that Jenner took in July and which led to her being branded a "climate criminal". Taylor Swift's jokes about using the jet have spawned memes of her using her jet to go to Starbucks and to shop.
“Taylor's jet is regularly loaned to other people. To attribute most or all of these trips to her is patently incorrect, ”Taylor Swift's spokesperson told The Wall Street Journal. Twitter account owner, 20-year-old Jack Sweeney, said he hopes the data released will force private passengers "to be more efficient." After all, the VIPs are really using their own private jets as we use bicycles

As the WSJ notes, the data so far has only caused outrage about the climate. But that hasn't stopped private flights from increasing by 30% since 2019, the report reads. The sector has experienced “record growth” since the start of the pandemic.
Darren Banham, chief executive officer of Discovery Jets, a charter and jet management company, told the WSJ: “I've been in the private jet market for the past 10 years, and on the commercial side of aviation for 22, and have never given the private jet business with this development ”.
New customers are appearing, including those interested in shared planes and on-demand charter services. In fact, 75% of the customers of a famous private jet company, JB Jets, are their first time flying. Whenever a celebrity posts a private flight post, in addition to fueling the indignation, it offers the industry a “tail swipe”. Sometimes people rent jets by the hour, given the ease of navigation and programming. Then it is very simple to leave, without special practices or controls. JB Jets founder Ben Parker said, “You can show up 15 minutes early, five minutes early. You can show up late and the plane will wait for you ”.
Customers are interested in basic services, for the most part, Parker says. "People think our customers want caviar and champagne, but believe it or not, they usually want McDonald's or Burger King." So we have a class of rich, but not very rich, who are using the services of private jets, and they don't give a damn about CO2 emissions, only to parade for climate change and to make normal people's flights more expensive, exactly. how it is happening.
