    Not saying this to shill for private jet owners, but to shed some light on this. A big part of why private jets are preferable is that passengers can drive up to the plane and just take off immediately. No check ins, no security, no wait times, no boarding times.

    Banning private jets isn’t easy to do. A more practical solution might be to eliminate security theater, cut down boarding times, end overbooking, and heavily tax private jets.

    If the outcome we want is a reduced carbon footprint, we need to focus on things that are actionable, and getting private jets banned is unlikely to happen.
