Members of the globalist elite rushing to use private jets during the coronavirus pandemic to avoid meeting the general public will not be repeated anytime soon, according to a report released on Sunday.
Reuters reports that the switch to private flight, seen as a necessity by wealthy Americans for the past two years, is now showing signs of being something else: an expensive but sought-after alternative to a commercial airline ticket.
Analysts and industry leaders say they’re seeing more new airplane owners and their families, as well as small and medium-sized businesses take to the skies on private jets.
According to Alton Aviation Consultancy quoted by Reuters, airlines will cost 80% of reward travel in 2021; this is higher than 90% before COVID-19.
Business jets have long been associated with celebrities, Hollywood, and top executives, even as they teach the rest of us to reduce our carbon footprint and embarrass their makers by flying.
Hey Harrison, have you been on a private jet lately? You are a total fraud and fraud. Keep reducing your own huge carbon footprint and stop teaching farmers how to rarely fly commercial jets while we work. https://t.co/JU37ShYRVS

They now make up a quarter of flights to the US, nearly double their pre-pandemic share, according to research and consulting firm WINX.
Bill Gates, for example, has responded to criticism for talking about climate change and also for creating a large carbon footprint from flying private jets.
Gates said last year that such criticism was “absolutely fair”. He admitted he has a “huge carbon footprint” and is therefore a “strange person” to talk about it, although he continues to book non-commercial flights.
According to Jettly, a charter booking platform, booking a nine-seat Gulfstream G280 costs $18,100 for a one-way flight from New York to Miami. That compares to the average cost before taxes of a business class ticket from New York to Miami of $421, according to January’s Cirium data.
For many, including politicians, price is not an obstacle.

“I don’t think the people we see coming out of commercial flights are going back to commercial flights,” said Jamie Walker, CEO of US-based Jet Linx, which operates the aircraft and operates private jet subscriptions. map. “
Jet Linx charges a $25,000 membership fee and flight fee, according to its website.
Offering memberships starting at $2,995 without a flight, the Wheels Up Experience subscription says active members spend an average of more than $80,000 a year.
We’ve talked about the enormous cost and hypocrisy of going private when the commercial choice is obvious.
A Reuters report says U.S. private aviation traffic has increased by about 15% from 2019 levels, while airline traffic has fallen by about 13%, according to the flight tracking website FlightAware.
Analysts expect the recovery of commercial flights to return some wealthy travelers to scheduled airlines. But there are signs that some of the switch to private jets may be permanent, especially on short-haul flights to the US.
At all times, passengers who have no choice but to use commercial airlines are told to think only about the environment and stay home.
