private jets

Exclusive personal planes

Private jets are aircraft owned or chartered for personal or corporate use rather than commercial airline service.

They offer flexibility in scheduling, privacy, and access to smaller airports, but carry associations of extreme wealth and environmental criticism: She flew by private jet to the climate summit.

The singular private jet appears in discussions of luxury travel and carbon footprints.
