Jenner's jet...
A log entry shows Jenner's jet leaving Miami and traveling to Van Nuys, California, on Dec. 3, Buzzfeed News reported.
'Unimaginably selfish'
Travis's jet was recorded making the same trip a short time later. Each journey consumed over 15,000 pounds of jet fuel and produced 25 tons of carbon dioxide. Their fans were outraged, describing them as "unimaginably selfish."
17-minute flights
After the original backlash in July, some delved into Kylie's flight history and found that her jet had been used for 17-minute flights. According to records, the plane flew from Camarillo, California, to Van Nuys, California, earlier this month, although it is not confirmed whether the 24-year-old reality star was on board. By car, the trip would have taken just 40 minutes.
Kylie Air
Jenner's $72.8 million jet, Kylie Air, has an entertainment room, a master suite, and an oversized closet. She bought it shortly before the COVID-19 pandemic hit.
Jenner's carbon footprint
Additionally, Jenner's jet takes regular flights of less than 15 minutes, shocking her critics. One environmental activist tweeted about Jenner's flying habits, "80% of people have never taken a plane and Kylie Jenner is out here taking regular 10 minute flights, 5 flights in the last week under 30 minutes, one was 3 minutes long. Her carbon footprint for one ten minute flight, is more than some people make in a year." (Note: This controversy revolved around a 17-minute flight. A flight-tracking Twitter account initially reported it as lasting three minutes).
Climate change 'exit plan'
According to some, the Kardashian-Jenner family's aversion to climate change is due to their "exit plan." In the final season of Keeping Up With the Kardashians, Kim and Khloé investigated survival bunkers designed to endure natural disasters and human-made disasters. A few months later, legal documents revealed Kim had been engaged in a bitter battle with her neighbors over constructing an underground bunker and "subterranean wellness center" on her Hidden Hills property.
