+
Prince Harry has safeguarded his occasional usage of personal jets to guarantee his household's safety, and has stated that on the unusual events he does not fly commercially he offsets his emissions.

+
Brian Proctor, CEO of Mente Group, a U.S. consultancy, said emissions played a function in a business jet usage study his business just recently finished for a Fortune 500 business.

"At the end of the day, I think that rate, expense per hour, range, speed and efficiency, that's still the (sales) motorist. But I believe people are becoming more familiar with the sustainability of operations and how it impacts the world."
