I have no numbers to back this up, but intuitively I'd put my money on less than 448 hours per year average, do you have any source on this?

- ohgodplsno 4y agoFirst half of 2022 sees over 700 000 hours of flight from Part 135 jets (read: private jets). https://privatejetcardcomparisons.com/2022/08/03/argus-expects-private-jet-flying-to-stay-15-20-above-pre-covid-levels/ https://privatejetcardcomparisons.com/2022/08/03/argus-expec... My 448 hours comes from the Top 20 of private charter operators, with a relatively old source. The average went up as the amount of private jetting went way up (more than doubled) (https://privatejetcardcomparisons.com/2017/07/11/how-many-hours-a-year-do-private-jets-fly/ https://privatejetcardcomparisons.com/2017/07/11/how-many-ho...). Sure, take the 21 000 private jets in the world and say the average is only 60 if you'd like. The average isn't what matters. And hell, even with 60 average, that's 120 tons of CO2 per jet, per year. 25 people worth of yearly emissions, for a single plane. I promise you, there is nothing these planes do that it worth that.
- bluesign 4y agoI think there is a huge difference between 60 and 448. We are not discussing it is worth or not. We are discussing "30m Wifi-Routers in France running a third of the year while nobody is home not having a larger impact than the 270 private jets being used." or not.
