According to @Greenpeace, there were more than four times as many private flights in Europe in 2022 as in 2020, and emissions climbed to 5.3 million tons -- more than Nicaragua's emissions in 2021. Europe must ban private jets, now! #BanPrivateJets #MakeThemPay #TaxFrequentFlyers

"Wealthy frequent-flyers who comprise just 1% of the world’s population generate half of the global aviation industry’s carbon emissions with their constant jet-setting.

[Campaigners calling] for a frequent-flyer tax, arguing only the affluent can afford to take to the skies so often, but gr. gases produced affect all of us."

Well done to them and thank them for at least having a go. I help a little with my local #XR group and with donations when I can .

With flights rapidly increasing, the airport in Raleigh is cutting down a neighboring forest to provide additional parking. The protesters called for banning private jet travel, decreasing aviation emissions, and taxing wealthy emitters.

#MakePollutersPay #TaxFrequentFlyers

They stood near the airport entrances and peacefully protested against the huge emissions generated by a small, wealthy, privileged fraction of the world population.

Despite the climate emergency, traffic from and to Murcia airport is steadily growing.

He continues, "This kind of extravagant, climate-damaging pollution is unnecessary, unjust, and we are calling for an end to it."

.@SRTurtleIsland & @XRSeattle members shut down a private jet terminal entrance in Seattle.

Nearly a quarter of Seattle’s carbon emissions come from airplanes, contributing to the worsening climate crisis which disproportionately impacts low-income households. #TaxFrequentFlyers

Scientists and academics are currently blocking the private jet terminal at Schiphol with bikes.

We are in a climate emergency. We cannot allow the rich to continue fueling the flames with their unnecessary, planet-destroying luxury emissions. #BanPrivateJets #TaxFrequentFlyers

The Van Nuys Airport holds an average of one flight every 7 minutes. Flying is a uniquely high-impact activity and is the quickest and cheapest way for a consumer to increase their carbon footprint. #TaxFrequentFlyers

Private jets are 10 times more carbon intensive than airliners on average, and 50 times more polluting than trains. Billionaires are keeping our planet hostage, it's time to make them accountable! #TaxFrequentFlyers

Our partners in @ExtinctionNZ took action inside the regional Air New Zealand Koru lounge inside Christchurch airport. They protested against frequent flyer schemes that reward the rich and powerful for their luxury emissions.

Tentámos de tudo. Petições, negociações, manifestações e ações simbólicas. Em vão. Temos de sair dos nossos espaços de trabalho e disromper com esta normalidade que nos condena. É a única opção que nos resta. #banprivatejets #MakePollutersPay #TaxFrequentFlyers #Makethempay

Supporters of @AbolirJatos and scientists from @SciRebelPT took action at the private jets airport of Tires.

A four-hour private flight emits as much as the average person does in a year. This has to stop. #BanPrivateJets #TaxFrequentFlyers
