In 2025, 1,400 private jet flights came in.
We're asking Prince Albert to stop celebrating antisocial excess and show real climate leadership. Cancel the Monaco Yacht Show.

Prince Albert of Monaco is a vocal climate champion. But every year Monaco hosts a yacht show for billionaires @mys_monaco -- starting today!
As if celebrating mega-polluting super-yachts wasn't bad enough, hundreds of elites fly private jets to attend.
JUST OUT: Our latest report finds private jets pollute 10–14x more than commercial flights—and the rest of us subsidize that luxury through taxes and public policy.

The Senate version doesn’t include the jet tax break (yet). Tell your Senators: keep it out. #TaxPrivateJets#Oligarchs

They’re trying to sneak a new tax break for billionaire private jet owners into the ALERT Act—an aviation safety bill moving fast.
Safety improvements? Yes. A giveaway to the ultra-rich? No.
Don't sneak a tax break for private jet owners into a bipartisan aviation safety bill. Billionaires don't need another handout — they need to pay what they owe. @inequalityorg@taxprivatejets_ https://t.co/c42efuCSLG
A little-noticed provision tucked into an air-safety bill would help billionaires avoid state and local taxes on their private jets h̲t̲t̲p̲s̲://w̲w̲w̲.p̲o̲l̲i̲t̲i̲c̲o̲.c̲o̲m̲/n̲e̲w̲s̲/2̲0̲2̲6̲/0̲6̲/0̲8̲/a̲i̲r̲-s̲a̲f̲e̲t̲y̲-t̲a̲x̲i̲n̲g̲-p̲r̲i̲v̲a̲t̲e̲-j̲e̲t̲s̲-0̲0̲9̲5̲0̲2̲5̲4̲

🚩 @Chuck99to1 talks to @Thom_Hartmann about our FIFA Red Card for Private Jets: "Where the billionaire class meets environmental degradation... and we the public subsidize the private jet class."
A private aviation club is charging $1.1–3.5 million per year for access to a fleet of large-cabin jets. Annually. More than most Americans earn in a lifetime, for the privilege of being the most polluting flyers on Earth.
New piece from @Chuck99to1 in @thehill:
Over 92,000 private jets flew in/out of World Cup host cities during matches — 147 kilotons of excess CO₂. That's like driving 34,000 gas cars for a year. Meanwhile, fans breathed wildfire smoke.
