Climate, Anti-Wealth Groups Fail To Stymie Demand For Private Jets
Efforts by climate and anti-wealth campaigners to hold back demand for private jet flights are failing, at least so far in 2025. Despite efforts by more countries to impose taxes on private jet flights (as well as first- and business-class tickets on airlines), demand for private jet flights increased during the first half of 2025 compared to 2024. WingX data shows that worldwide private jet segments increased by 3% through June, resulting in more than 1.8 million departures. And it wasn't just jets. Turboprops flew over an additional one million flights, a 2% year-over-year increase. The gains come after two years of slight decline after Covid-led demand peaked in 2022. So far in 2025, only two weeks have seen a year-over-year dip, including Week 1. Since then, the industry has experienced increases in 22 weeks, with two weeks showing no change. In the U.S., the largest market for private aviation, departures increased by 3.6%, and flight hours rose 3.4% year-over-year, according to WingX. All the major cabin-size categories saw gains (only entry-level jets and VIP airliner jets saw dips). Light jets, the largest segment of the industry (26.5% of departures in H1), saw a 3.5% year-over-year increase, although flight hours were only up 2.7%, indicating more short hops. The ability to fly nonstop and avoid connecting via hubs, as well as the convenience of flying instead of taking long drives, are among the top reasons users choose private flights, according to research by Private Jet Card Comparisons. However, it wasn't just above short hops. Ultra-long-range jets, which can fly 12 hours or more nonstop, saw a 5.3% increase in segments, tied with super-light jets for the biggest year-over-year gain. Even in Europe, where groups regularly target private jet users with protests at airports, the segment increased by 0.3% year-over-year. France, Europe's largest market for private aviation, saw a 1.1% increase in demand despite efforts to increase taxes on charter flights. Among the 10 largest markets, Spain led the way with a 5.3% year-over-year gain, while Italy (+3.8%), Sweden (+0.7%), and the United Kingdom (+0.7%) all saw year-over-year increases in private jet flights. What's more, the industry appears bullish on itself. NetJets took delivery of its first two Embraer Phenom 500s. It has options for up to 250 midsize jets, in addition to options and orders for over 1,500 more private jets from Textron Aviation and Bombardier. A mystery buyer placed a firm order with Bombardier for 50 jets. The Canadian manufacturer stated that it is a first-time customer, ruling out the three most prominent players – NetJets, Flexjet, and Vista Global – and indicating that it could be a new entrant. The order, which includes options for 70 more jets, is initially valued at $1.7 billion and could range to over $4 billion. Bombardier only manufactures super-midsize, large, and ultra-long-haul private jets, all with stand-up cabins across its Challenger and Global lines, meaning whoever is behind the order is seeking to play in the premium, long-haul segment of the market. That follows a record order by Flexjet with Embraer earlier this year that will see it double its fleet to over 600 aircraft by early next decade. NetJets expects to take delivery of approximately 90 new jets this year, according to company executives. The unit of Berkshire Hathaway, which offers fractional ownership programs, said the airplanes it received were sold to customers before their arrival. While concerns about tariffs and trade wars persist, Q1 pre-owned private jet transactions among members of the International Aircraft Dealers Association increased by 24%. The General Aviation Manufacturers Association, which tracks deliveries of new private aircraft, has an 11% year-over-year increase in business jet deliveries in Q1, however, that trailed the increase for turboprop deliveries, which were up 23.1% year-over-year. Bonus depreciation, part of the Big Beautifull Bill, passed by the U.S. Congress and signed into law by President Donald J. Trump, which applies to private jets used for business, is expected to add froth to the market.

A Guide To Pay-Per-Click Ad Management For E-Commerce Retailers
David Ispiryan is the CEO of Effeect, where he helps businesses thrive online through innovative digital marketing strategies For e-commerce stores, effective pay-per-click management is the key to making ads profitable and staying competitive. Over the years, I've helped e-commerce brands of all sizes run successful PPC campaigns. I've managed several seven-figure monthly ad spends to rescue struggling campaigns, and I've seen how important PPC is for growing an online store. Let's take a look at why PPC management is so important in e-commerce, and then I'll share some best practices you can implement. What Is E-Commerce PPC? E-commerce PPC is when retailers pay each time a user clicks on their ads. PPC ads appear on advertising platforms such as Google, Bing, Amazon and social media, targeting shoppers who are looking for products. Unlike organic traffic, PPC provides instant visibility and targets specific users. Why E-Commerce PPC Management Matters PPC campaigns need ongoing attention, tweaks and strategic decisions to stay profitable. Good management involves: • Controlling your budget: Investing more in high-performing ads and cutting spending on poor performers. • Optimizing keywords: Finding and targeting keywords that convert. • Improving ads: Writing engaging ad copy and using visuals to boost click-through rates. • Aligning landing pages: Making sure your landing pages match your ads and are designed to convert visitors. Best Practices For E-Commerce PPC Management The following best practices can help you make the most of your PPC ads. Use tools like Google Keyword Planner, Semrush and Ahrefs to find high-intent keywords that are relevant and popular but not overly competitive. These are phrases your ideal buyer searches for when they're ready to purchase, like 'buy X product size Y.' In Google Keyword Planner, filter for terms with relevant monthly searches and medium or low competition. Focus on keywords whose bids fit your budget. Write clear and convincing ad copy that highlights what makes your product special. The key is to combine clarity, urgency and proof. Start with your unique offer, such as 'Free shipping on orders over $75.' Then inject a hook like 'Limited‑Time Sale.' Your results may vary based on different products and cases, so make sure you test different ad versions to see what works best. My agency tests different headlines featuring discounts, highlighting benefits and highlighting social proof statistics. I'll share more on testing below. Make sure your ads also include quality images or videos to quickly grab attention. Your landing pages should match your ads. For example, if your ad says, '30% Off Offer,' your page header should too. Clear calls to action can boost conversions. I recommend placing a prominent call-to-action button (e.g., 'Redeem Your 30% Off') above the fold on your landing page. Make sure your landing pages load quickly and offer a smooth experience as well. Ideally, your pages should load in less than two seconds. Use compressed images and a reliable web host, and optimize your code and plug-ins to boost loading time. Ask for customers' email and shipping addresses only at checkout to minimize friction. Negative keywords prevent your ads from showing up in unrelated searches, which saves you money and improves the relevance of your ads. For example, if you sell premium furniture, exclude keywords like 'free,' 'DIY,' 'cheap,' 'affordable' and other similar keywords. Regularly check key metrics like click-through rate, conversion rate and return on ad spending. Use this information to improve your bids, keyword choices and ad creativity. Advanced Strategies This involves testing different ad versions to discover what works best. Using A/B testing tools, you can experiment with headlines, descriptions, visuals and calls to action. I suggest testing one variable at a time. Run each test until you reach at least 500 clicks or two weeks, whichever comes first. Remarketing campaigns help reengage users who previously interacted with your ads or website and encourage them to complete their purchase. You can segment audiences by behavior—for example, you can target product viewers, cart abandoners and past purchasers and provide a different offer for each segment. Ad platform machine learning algorithms can adjust your bids automatically, optimizing conversions and improving your ROI. You may want to start with Google Enhanced CPC to gather conversion data. After hitting 30 conversions, switch to Target CPA or Target ROAS. Conclusion PPC campaigns are important for any e-commerce retail strategy. You can attract targeted visitors, boost conversions and achieve sustained growth by following best practices and optimizing campaigns.
