Private jets on the rise, warning from environmentalists. In Great Britain, Prime Minister Sunak in the sights

LONDON – Last week British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak went to Blackpool for a conference on an RAF military flight – his third trip on a private jet in the last ten days. If he had taken the train from London he would have reached his destination in three hours. Last week he’d done the same thing to get from London to Leeds: a private jet instead of a two-and-a-half-hour train journey.
