St Gallen, a smaller airport than Zurich, gets an average of 120 private flights per week, or 17 per day, during the year. This would suggest that 51 of the 136 movements into and out of there in the past three days were unrelated to Davos and therefore that 85 movements, or 43 extra there-and-back trips, involved Davos participants. here
Now let’s look at St. Gallen-Alltenrhein, there were 93 ATMs. This year, the figure is slightly higher at 136, mainly because we have been encouraging participants to use this airport to reduce congestion on the roads. This is a 46% increase. However, if we calculate the numbers from Zurich, which still receives much more traffic, the overall difference year on year is -14% more
This year’s drop in private air traffic is a sign that participants are taking the environmental impact of their travel more seriously. [links]
It’s also a complicated question, as the data is not always easy to determine. For example, air traffic authorities use a metric called ATM, or Air Traffic Movements. A normal flight would be two ATMs, however during busy times, when parking is not available at the airport, planes are required to take off again and park at another airstrip nearby. This adds a further two legs to the journey, meaning that one trip to Davos could be divided into four separate trips.
This gets us closer to determining how many private jets are being used for Davos participants. Considering that the average daily number of movements throughout the year in Zurich is 55, we could assume that there have been in the region of 185 extra flights over the three days of the conference. A conservative estimate – based on each flight requiring only two ATMs (which is unlikely) – would give us a total 93 extra trips. more

Of all the wonderful things that have happened, including getting a doctorate, an honorary doctorate from Duke, what really makes me feel successful is being able to use my life in service to someone else's. and it is really fantastic to have your own jet, and anybody who says it isn't is lying to you. That jet thing is really good." here

Key Statistics:
There were 21,979 active private aviation jets in 2019 worldwide. Due to the high demand for private jet travel, this number is expected to rise steadily despite pandemic restrictions. In fact, industry forecasts for the next ten years predict between 6,362 and 7,300 new jet deliveries, valued between $204.4 billion and $236 billion.
The private jet industry began in the 1960s, and the demand has only grown since then. The world’s leading private jet providers include Airbus SE, The Boeing Company, Bombardier, Inc., Embraer SA, Textron, Gulfstream, Dassault, Cessna, HondaJet, Eviation Aircraft, Joby, and Zunum. In 2020, Textron, Gulfstream, and Bombadier Inc. delivered the highest number of business jets.
Gulfstream’s G500 & G600 series are considered the best-selling business jets in all of 2020. The second most popular was Cirrus’ Vision Jet, a very light model for customers who prefer to travel with smaller groups. Bombardier’s Global series had the third-highest demand overall range, especially the newer models with improved range and fuel efficiency.
