The UK can claim the most flights and the most emissions as well as the busiest and most carbon-intensive routes, aviation experts said.
More private jets took off from the UK than any other country in Europe in 2022 - with one leaving every six minutes, according to research commissioned by Greenpeace.The UK can claim the most flights and the most emissions as well as the busiest and most carbon-intensive routes, the aviation experts said.
The most polluting route was between Farnborough and Blackbushe airports in Hampshire - a distance of fewer than five miles which Google Maps says can be walked in just over an hour-and-a-half. Researchers said these flights were likely to have been made for positioning - when an aircraft is moved to another airport to begin its primary flight.
Dutch environmental consultants CE Delft carried out the research using data from aviation analytics company Cirium.They analysed private jet traffic across Europe in 2020, 2021 and 2022 and found there were 1,041,640 flights in total, causing 5,377,851 tonnes of CO2 - equal to the entire annual emissions of Leeds.
