Will private jets be banned in the EU?

The discussion began this summer in France and, as the consequences of global warming become apparent to everyone, flights in private jets came in for particular criticism. Twitter users gleefully disseminated the flight movements of French company bosses and millionaires and criticised, amongst others, luxury goods company LVMH chief executive Bernard Arnault for travelling even short distances such as Paris to Brussels by private jet. The journeys to away matches of the players of the PSG football club were also highlighted, with one trip of around 380 kilometres made not by bus or train, but by jet. As a result, the French government loudly considered a general ban on private jet flights, with Transport Minister Clément Beaune demanding strict regulations on their use.
