Millions of Taylor Swift fans are asking why the global superstar uses VIP jets to travel the world. Why not a commercial airline?
The reason is simple: security and stopping chaos at conventional airport terminals disrupting normal passengers taking flights.
Ms Swift has also been criticised for using the VIP jets from an environmental point of view however her publicist told the BBC that all flights are offset with carbon credits.
According to CNN “while private jets burn a fraction of a commercial jet’s fuel consumption, they burn an estimated 10 times more per passenger mile travelled given their limited capacity, according to a report by the Institute for Policy Studies, a Washington-based progressive think tank.”
Time magazine person of the year for 2023 apparently slipped into Melbourne Australia at 12.25 am local time on a VistaJet Bombardier 6000 (below) for her Australian sold-out concerts.
The layers of security that are needed for a superstar such as Ms Swift would be staggering and cause massive airport disruption delaying flights security experts tell AirlineRatings.com.

And when the celebrity landed at a conventional airport the paparazzi’s attention would be overwhelming again causing major traffic disruptions.
Celebrities also attract threats so flying on a private VIP jet is the safest form of travel for themselves and other passengers.
