At a time of global warming, a private jet multiplies flights between Toulouse and Montpellier

Less than thirty minutes. That’s the time it takes to travel by private jet between Toulouse and Montpellier. It must be said that the two largest cities in Occitania are only 200 kilometers away as the crow flies. The most logical (and the least planned) would be to take the train (about 2h10 journey) or – the most eco-friendly will not necessarily appreciate – the car (less than 3 hours). And yet…
Frequent stops in Montpellier
Above our heads, a Embraer Phenom 300 – a cuckoo clock reaches nearly 10 million dollars that can carry eight people and consumes, on average, 158 gallons (about 600 liters) of fuel per hour – increase travel between the Pink City and Montpellier.
From December 24 to 29, 2022, the device has already achieved four journeys between the two cities of Occitania.

This was particularly the case this Tuesday, December 27. Flight duration ? 27 minutes! Less than an hour after landing, the aircraft left the Hérault direction Roanne (Loire). Again, a few minutes after landing, the plane resumed its journey to return to Toulouse.

The plane belongs to a Hérault company
According to public registration register of the General Directorate of Civil Aviation (DGAC), the aircraft belongs to PH Occitania. This entity is held by a holding company based in Hérault. The latter is presented in the fields of renewable energies, real estate or mass distribution via a famous hypermarket.
Contacted by Toulouse newsin order to better understand the use of this private jet (Perhaps a technical constraint explains these regular stops in Montpellier?), the management of this company has not yet responded to our requests.
Be that as it may, the ecological impact of these luxury planes is regularly criticized. Last summer, the Minister of Transport Clement Beaune had announced its desire to regulate private jet flights.
