The recent Greenpeace report slamming private aviation in just the latest in a barrage of attacks on an industry that, far from being a massive environmental culprit, is quite a minor offender. It is the perception that private aviation is an elitist luxury that benefits only a few that allows it to be so easily scapegoated in this way. In reality, private aviation is a small-time environmental culprit when compared to other sectors and industries. And its benefits trickle down supply lines and economies to the benefit of all.
