Exempting private jets seems dumb, but I guess it's important we don't let the perfect be the enemy of the good. Taxing regular commercial passenger flights will have most of the impact, and should encourage more efficient planes, bootstrap the market for sustainable synthetic fuels or electric short-range aircraft, and encourage more travel by train for shorter journeys. If exempting business jets is what's required to make it politically acceptable to all 27 member states so it actually goes into force, so be it. Much better this than another decade of debate and no action. The loose ends can always be cleaned up later.
