    Across the pond, the climate scandal of multimillionaire and billionaire private-jet use has been provoked by the Paris Saint-Germain football club taking a private flight to Nantes, a mere two and a half hours from the capital by train, and by Bernard Arnault, the head of luxury-goods giant LVMH Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton. Arnault, who surpassed Elon Musk this year to become the world’s richest individual, had taken 18 such flights in one month, mostly between Paris and Brussels, an even shorter train distance of just an hour and 22 minutes.

    Adding to the challenge to the claim that private jets play no socially constructive role is the vital role they regularly play in disaster relief due to their ability to mobilize rapidly. Global freight constraints, for example, hindered delivery of supplies to Ukraine in the early months of the war, while private jets were much more flexible.
