10 Details About Celebrity Private Jets That Are Hard To Swallow

It can be hard to imagine choosing an environmentally wasteful mode of transport, like flying in a private jet, as your first go-to. What’s even more of a hard-to-swallow fact is the phenomenon of ridiculously short flights. Out of the ring, Floyd Mayweather is known for his lavish lifestyle and massive wealth. The retired professional boxer holds the record for one of the shortest private jet flights, landing in Las Vegas and spending only 10 minutes in the air.

As previously mentioned, Travis Scott has a similar habit. In addition to the frequent trips, he also clinched the title for the shortest average flight journey, at just over 7 miles per flight, which is equivalent to a 10-minute car ride. Scott’s partner and mother to their two children, Kylie Jenner, also faced criticism for a short flight she took from Van Nuys in Los Angeles to Camarillo, which was a mere 17-minute flight.

Other notable short flights include rapper Drake, who was linked to an 18-minute flight from Hamilton, Ontario, to Toronto. However, Drake claimed he was not onboard at the time, and his pilot made the logistical decision. According to The Guardian, Kenny Chesney was in the air for a mere 20 minutes between Akron and Pittsburgh, and Mark Wahlberg took a 23-minute flight in Ireland. Even if some of these flights serve practical purposes, such as re-parking aircraft, they spotlight a controversial indifference toward environmental conservation.
