Actually 448 hours a year is pretty high in my opinion.
- luckylion 4y agoI guess it depends on what you consider "private jets". One that's exclusively used by some CEO or their family, 448 hours feels like a lot, but I don't know their typical travel schedule. But for "private rentals" that you rent for a trip or something, I'd assume they get a lot more action than only being used 5% of the year. Where's flueber, the app to book private jets? It sounds incredibly wasteful to only rent something out 5% of the year. Is maintenance a large issue?
- ohgodplsno 4y agoTake the private jets of 6 french billionaires. It is registered to their company. https://twitter.com/i_fly_Bernard/status/1565102112731693061 https://twitter.com/i_fly_Bernard/status/1565102112731693061 Francois Pinault flied it 26 hours in a single month, or 318 hours per year. And that's the jets from a billionaire who couldn't give a damn whether or not they're making money on this plane. It's just their personal taxi. Now, consider that private jet operators _have_ to rent to make money, and the average goes way up.
- ohgodplsno 4y agoGood thing your opinions don't really matter when it comes to fighting climate change then! Jets that are registered to companies fly regularly (yes, Bernard Arnault doesn't have a Bernard Arnault jet, he has 3 LVMH jets). It's currently doing at the very least 2 hours of flying per day. A regular, commercial airplane flies over 3 000 hours per year.
