The report reveals that private jets produce direct carbon emissions 10–14 times greater per passenger than commercial aviation, are used by 256,000 people (0.003% of global population), and emissions from private jet travel rose 50%. Despite accounting for 16% of FAA flight operations, private jets contribute less than 0.6% of taxes to the Airport and Airway Trust Fund. Private jet owners have median wealth of $190m.

“The rest of us should not have to pay for the luxury excess of the private jet billionaire class. Our hard-earned tax dollars shouldn't subsidize their reckless air travel habits that further harm our warming planet.”
