But with aviation accounting for 3% of global carbon emissions not every nation is embracing private aviation with such fervor. The Netherlands last year declared its intention to ban private jets and small business aviation at its major Schipol airport from 2026, in a move to target noise nuisance and CO2 emissions per passenger. On average, private jets are 10 times more carbon intensive than airliners and 50 times more polluting than trains, according to the European Federation for Transport and Environment.
