The post shared a screenshot tracking Kardashian’s private jet flying between Los Angeles and Van Nuys, California.<\/p>\n
“Kim Kardashian’s jet landed in Van Nuys, California, United States,” the post noted. “Apx. flt. time 9 min.”<\/p>\n
That short flight prompted a strong reaction from Redditors. The original poster focused on the cost and pollution of such a short flight.<\/p>\n
They said<\/a> of its environmental toll: “~ 84 gallons (317 liters). ~ 561 lbs (254 kg) of jet fuel used. ~ $477 cost of fuel. ~ 0.883 tons of CO2 emissions.”<\/p>\n When you compare that sort of price and amount of fuel to a gas-powered vehicle or an electric vehicle, it’s pretty staggering how much disregard for cost or resources is at play.<\/p>\n Redditors proposed several theories of why the flight even happened. One theorized that it was to avoid L.A.’s notorious traffic, which could turn a 9-mile trip into a lengthy ordeal.<\/p>\n “This is insane,” the poster wrote<\/a> of resorting to a private jet to skirt traffic. “Also way unnecessary.”<\/p>\n “It’s probably a repositioning flight,” another user hypothesized<\/a> in reference to flights that wouldn’t even have Kardashian on them.<\/p>\n They’re potentially used to store the plane, do maintenance, or access longer runways for longer flights. The pilot and crew frequently do them without their celebrity passengers present on board.<\/p>\n Whatever the case, these lightning-quick flights are commonplace for Kardashian, and the optics and toll on the planet continue to alarm Redditors.<\/p>\n It’s not just Kim, either, as the extended Kardashian\/Jenner clan<\/a> has no fewer than six private jets to choose from. Nine-minute flights draw even more scrutiny.<\/p>\n A user reacted<\/a>: “9 min flight? Wild if you use the bathroom and the plane is landing when you’re done.”<\/p>\n Get TCD’s free newsletters<\/a> for easy tips to save more, waste less, and make smarter choices \u2014 and earn up to $5,000 toward clean upgrades in TCD’s exclusive Rewards Club<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"While it’s understood that someone like Kim Kardashian operates in a different reality than most of us, sometimes…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":356840,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[179,430,156,17364,111,139,69,151414,188578],"class_list":{"0":"post-356839","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-celebrities","8":"tag-california","9":"tag-celebrities","10":"tag-entertainment","11":"tag-kim-kardashian","12":"tag-new-zealand","13":"tag-newzealand","14":"tag-nz","15":"tag-private-jet","16":"tag-van-nuys"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/356839","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=356839"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/356839\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/356840"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=356839"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=356839"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=356839"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
