Entrepreneur Rick Schirmer says that he and his family "feel safer" travelling by private plane. Rick Schirmer is a Los Angeles-based marketer, says that private flying will make his family feel safe. It's not a rush to meet your check-in time as the sleek plane departs when you're prepared, not the other way round.Plus, in many cases it is not necessary to enter a terminal building. Instead, the limousine takes you onto the tarmac, right towards the plane. Then, a friendly member of cabin crew hands you a glass of champagne while you sit in a soft leather armchair.The additional benefit to private aircrafts, which you usually hire as a expensive taxi rather than buying your own - was that they continued to fly during the pandemic.So when airlines shut down services in the last two years, the super rich and business leaders were able to fly with confidence that they were able to stay in their Covid-19 bubble.As the result, the use of private planes has soared, especially in 2021. The year before, there were 3.3 million of these flights across the world, the most ever, according to aviation research firm Wingx.This number was 7 percent higher than the previous high which was set in the year 2019 with the US and Europe being the main drivers of growth.But as the world continues to hopefully put the pandemic to rest is the usage of private planes wane? Is their use justified due to their huge environmental impact?
