Private jet operator Air Charter Service has said it expects to see a ‘boom’ in private jet travel bookings this summer.

Wallman said: “I am very excited to be working with Air Charter Service, since the benefits of private aviation align so well with my philosophies on how to spend time wisely for a happy and enriching life.

It was a silver lining to an otherwise utterly devastating situation – and it got people thinking.
While emissions are likely to rebound after the pandemic, many believe the change in our collective conscience is likely to remain. In the wake of the Covid-19 pandemic – buoyed by the Greta Thunberg movement, organisations such as Extinction Rebellion and the rallying cries of Sir David Attenborough – not only are consumers more climate aware, they’re keener than ever to travel responsibly.
