Private jets come in various types, with the Cessna Citation Excel being a popular choice. Although our estimates are based on this model, it’s important to note that affluent individuals may use more powerful and expensive jets.
The Cessna Citation Excel consumes an average of 225 gallons of fuel per hour, resulting in a carbon footprint of approximately 2.2 metric tons of CO2 per hour, according to 4Air’s aviation fuel carbon calculator.
For comparison, a passenger vehicle emits about 4.6 metric tons of CO2 annually, as per the EPA. This means that the Citation Excel’s impact on the climate in three hours of flying exceeds that of an average car in a year.
Now, let’s consider commercial jets. The Airbus A320, a popular commercial jet, utilizes around 750 gallons of fuel per hour and has a capacity of up to 180 passengers. In contrast, the Cessna Citation Excel accommodates approximately 7 passengers, excluding the crew.
Given this, commercial jets offer a more environmentally friendly alternative for air travel, with significantly lower pollution per person. Although some celebrities defend their use of private jets by citing “loaning out”, the environmental impact remains significant. Opting for first class in commercial flights can still provide luxury without the same level of impact on the planet.
