Well, we don’t have great figures on this but there are some estimates that only 20% of the human population has ever flown on an airplane.
That seems like it’s a pretty heavily “gilded only” type of thing especially if you look at percentage distributions of flight frequency and by class.
- tobyjsullivan 3y agoWhere are you setting the bar for something to be commonly accessible? Only about 60% of the world’s population has reliable access to clean drinking water. 18% of people own a car. Compared to those numbers, 20% of people flying seems downright common - especially considering many people likely never fly simply because they have nowhere worth going (relative to cost).
