The COP29 climate conference in Baku, Azerbaijan, has been criticized for the large number of private planes used by participants to arrive at the event. Over the past week, 65 private planes landed at the city’s airport, double the number from the previous year. Critics argue that the use of private jets is hypocritical, as the people attending the conference claim to fight against climate change.
However, some aviation experts defend the decision, stating that it is more appropriate for high-ranking officials to use private jets than commercial flights. Others argue that private jets are a waste of resources and emit more carbon dioxide than necessary.
