“Private flights, used by an estimated 256,000 people (just 0.003% of the world’s population), are the most polluting form of transport, producing direct carbon emissions 10 to 14 times greater per passenger than commercial aviation travel, the report said.”
I expect this 10 to 14 times greater to be calculated using the nominal passenger capacities. Since private jets are bound to fly more often at low capacity (to pick up a dress for example), the real difference is going to be much higher.
