As Cannes wraps up, ex-pilots are calling to regulate private jet travel amidst a fuel crisis.
Last year, 750 private flights to & from Cannes burned 2M litres of fuel, with most exempt from carbon tax.
❔Do you think we should regulate & tax private jets more?

"'SAF' is pitched as a climate solution that keeps everything else - airports, aircraft and airline business models - more or less the same. But while the rhetoric can be high flying, the reality is more complex." - Finlay Asher (@_SafeLanding) ⤵️

@helena_bennett_ @James_BG Yes but @James_BG, Heathrow is likely not the best airport for these aircraft e.g. we propose converting private jet and regional airports instead. If Heathrow was used then the runway, terminal, gates etc. would need to be very different. Think 30, rather than 300 seat planes.

@MJC00per @Boeing Hi Matt - this interview was about listening to Boeing's view of a sustainable future for air travel.

- "Sustainable" aviation fuels: https://t.co/yS2bJkqrJv

But it's good to listen to others 🙂
