They made it free to travel there by train and provided snow grips for shoes to encourage attendees to walk rather than drive around the conference. According to data from flight tracking website Flightradar24, private jet activity at airports around Davos was significantly elevated over the past couple of days.<\/p>\n<p>At Zurich, the nearest large airport to Davos, 54 private jets landed on Monday, an increase of 170 per cent compared to the average for the past week. A spokesperson for Zurich Airport told Euronews Green, \u201cImmediately before and during the WEF, we record around 1,000 additional flight movements. These may be business jets, state aircraft or helicopter flights.\u201d Other airports frequented by Davos delegates include Saint Moritz, Friedrichshafen and St. Gallen-Alternheim. All three had higher-than-usual private jet activity on Monday, with Friedrichshafen seeing 33 per cent more jets than the average.<\/p>\n<p>For business leaders and politicians, time is often cited as the reason for not taking a train. The swifter arrival of private jets is seen as a positive, as they\u2019ll have more time at both ends to continue working. While that argument holds some water for far-away delegates arriving from Hawaii or the USA, there\u2019s always the option of a commercial flight. According to Transport and Environment, an executive flying from the US to Switzerland could save 87 per cent of their carbon emissions by taking a public flight.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.euronews.com\/green\/2025\/01\/21\/private-jet-flights-soar-by-170-per-cent-as-politicians-and-business-leaders-descend-on-da\">Euronews<\/a><\/p>\n<p><p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/environmental-news-en\/7-653\/\">Private jet flights soar by 170 per cent as politicians and business leaders descend on Davos 2025<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[2985,575,9383,3232],"class_list":["post-136763","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-davos","tag-environmental-news-en","tag-private-jet","tag-travel"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/136763","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=136763"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/136763\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=136763"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=136763"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=136763"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
