It found almost half the jets travelled less than 500km and 900,000 were used “like taxis” for trips of less than 50km.
Less than 50 kilometres. With a jet. Let that level of misanthropic assholery sink in.
I drive 130-160km(depending what route I take) a day getting to and from work 5 days a week. It’s about 2hrs driving time daily. £70 of fuel a week roughly. The fact that these people are spending probably just as much time, and magnitudes more money to go the same distance… seems like an angry mob and a BBQ could solve this problem…
I didn’t know that there even are that many airports so close to each other…
A lot of major cities will have a lot of smaller general aviation airports next to each other.
Anything can be an airport if you are
suicidalrich enough.
Here’s an article detailing some of the shortest flights celebrities have been criticized for taking:
A taste from the article, detailing the excesses of 24-year-old influencer Kylie Jenner:
“According to an automated Twitter account that tracks celebrity flights based on transponders and tail fin marking, Jenner’s flight on 12 July lasted just 17 minutes, taking her from Van Nuys in Los Angeles to the nearby town of Camarillo. The model had earlier taken a 27-minute trip in her jet, a $72m Bombardier BD 700, to Van Nuys from Thermal, California.”
a 72m Bombardier
Influencers make multiple tens of millions now?
She does, somehow. At 27 years of age her estimated worth is apparently around $710,000,000
I wonder if people really buy worth $710mil more because of her.
Definitely not by design, as the rich do whatever they want and push austerity on the rest.
