This seems like the worst kind of envy politics. Why not also ban motor racing, private yachts. mansions, excessive jewellery, etc, etc. The right answer is to tax it. The 'business class ticket' alternative given in the article is not very realistic. I believe most private jet travel is for business, and it means people can fly directly between locations, at whatever time is convenient, which might be difficult or highly inconvenient otherwise. And exchanging the hell that is airports and airport security for a dedicated private jet terminal is surely worth paying for if you travel frequently.
