Private jet users should be hit by a 'super tax' to fund public transport and discourage the hugely polluting means of getting about, a charity has argued.
Campaign for Better Transport is calling for a new ‘super’ rate of Air Passenger Duty to apply to private jet passengers and for private flights to lose their VAT free status amid a boom in the industry.
Private jets are between five and 14 times more polluting than commercial flights and 50 times more polluting than trains.
