Private jets pollute up to 14 times as much as commercial planes and are undertaxed in US, report says

A new report has found that private jets in the US are polluting up to 14 times as much as commercial planes. This is significant because it highlights a disparity between the environmental impact of private and commercial air travel. The report also suggests that private jet owners are undertaxed, despite their wealth, which could have implications for aviation taxes and the funding of public infrastructure supporting private air travel.
