Ika MakimakiHere's a free idea:
No refuelling private jets. ✈️
No matter what price they can afford.
Should be an obvious step 0 in a fuel crisis.
But we wouldn't ever do anything to inconvenience the ultra rich, would we?
Harald@pezmico Sounds great. I am with you.
Except: define "private jet".
Those use their corporate jets instead. Execution would not be as easy as we might wish.
David Chisnall (*Now with 50% more sarcasm!*)Here’s a definition that I think could work: Fuel is permitted only for flights running on regular scheduled routes where all tickets are available for sale via a non-discriminatory process.
This would exclude corporate and personal jets (not on a regular scheduled route) and charter flights (tickets are available only to the people who bought the flight, unless chartered by a holiday company, in which case they’re permitted).
But there’s a simpler allow-list approach. Airlines require regulatory approval to operate on each route (and, in some cases, receive subsidy). Flights on regulator-approved routes get fuel, no one else does.
