Austria, France, Ireland and the Netherlands have called on the European Union to toughen laws to curb the impact of private jet travel on the climate, a document showed.
The countries are home to some of the busiest airports in Europe, including Amsterdam's Schiphol and Charles de Gaulle airport in Paris.
In a document shared with EU countries ahead of a meeting of their transport ministers next week, the four countries said the "excessive" per capita carbon footprint of private jet travel should spur the EU to act. Private jet flights in Europe increased by 64% in 2022, and emitted more than 5.3 million tonnes of CO2, according to research by Dutch consultancy CE Delft, commissioned by Greenpeace.
