A study highlighted that emissions from private aviation increased by 46% between 2019 and 2023. This rapid growth underscores the environmental challenges posed by the aviation sector, which is already a significant contributor to global greenhouse gas emissions. Private jets have a disproportionately high carbon footprint per passenger compared to commercial flights and trains, exacerbating their environmental impact through CO2 emissions and additional greenhouse gases like nitrogen oxides and vapour trails.
