The use of private jets is soaring in Europe and with it the amount of carbon dioxide released into the atmosphere.
The number of flights increased 64% last year, leading to an almost-doubling of CO2 emissions, according to a study conducted by Dutch environmental consultancy CE Delft and commissioned by Greenpeace. The UK was the top destination, with Paris to London the most popular route, according to the study.
