Eli5: What makes private jets so bad for the environment compared to regular ones?

262 views

Private jets are much smaller than regular passenger planes, so I’m assuming they weigh less. Shouldn’t an airplane that weights less burn less fuel, thus being better for the environment?

And why not just modify a passenger plane into a private one, since it’s better for the enviornment, while people still get to fly private?

It’s busses vs cars, in the sky.
Mass transport is always more economic compared to individual (walking aside)
