Yes, private jets typically use more fuel per passenger than commercial airlines.
Private jets are known to have a higher carbon footprint than commercial airlines primarily because of two key factors:
- Lower Occupancy Rates: Private jets often fly with far fewer passengers compared to the capacity of the aircraft.
- Less Efficient Fuel Usage: Private jets are inherently less efficient in their fuel usage compared to commercial planes.
This difference in fuel efficiency and occupancy results in a significantly higher fuel consumption per passenger on private jets.
