Kim Kardashian has been accused of ‘eco-terrorism’ after tallying up more than 30 flights with her private jet since January 1 – including a staggering five in one day, and multiple 10 minute journeys.

Despite the growing backlash against A-list stars like Taylor Swift over their constant use of private jets, the reality star appears to have made no efforts to minimize her usage in 2024.

In fact, the 43-year-old’s aircraft has been used to make 15 trips since the start of 2024 that were under 40 minutes, with the jet spending less than 15 minutes in the air on eight of those journeys.

Based on statistics tracked by kimkjet on Instagram, the flights have used over 35,420 gallons of fuel to date and have released 425 tons of C02 emissions.

The Skims mogul would need to plant 7,027 trees and allow these to grow for 10 years in order to offset the environmental damage caused by her flights.

It is the equivalent of the energy used by 55 houses in one year, or the electricity use of 83 homes for one year, according to the Greenhouse Gas Equivalencies Calculator.

The billionaire purchased a Gulfstream G65OERjet in 2022 for a reported $95 million. She fitted the aircraft with custom modifications, raising its reported worth to $150 million.

Dubbed ‘Kim Air’, it was first made known to the public during an episode of her family’s Hulu reality show, The Kardashians.

The SKKN founder’s biggest trip came during her visit to France in late January, for Paris Fashion Week.

Having flown from California to New Orleans, the star then jetted over to Paris on January 25 and attended the Maison Margiela Haute Couture Spring/Summer 2024 show.

However, the star left Paris that very same day and landed back in Los Angeles, California on January 26 so she could attend her son Saint West’s basketball game.

Her jet was then noted to have landed back in Paris on January 27, though it does not appear that she was on board.

Kim’s jet took one of its shortest trip on January 31 when it flew from Van Nuys to Camarillo, both in California, on a journey that lasted just 10 minutes

Kim’s jet took one of its shortest trips on February 24 when it flew for a grand total of five minutes between Isles-lès-Villenoy and Paris in France.

The trip released nearly one ton of C02 emissions, and used 90 gallons of jet fuel which would have cost around $506.

Weeks prior on January 31 it flew from Van Nuys to Camarillo, both in California, on a journey that lasted just 10 minutes.

On February 10 Kim took a 35 minute flight from Van Nuys to Las Vegas, Nevada ahead of the Super Bowl final the following day, which she attended with her new man Odell Beckham Jr.

The journey which would have released around four tons of CO2 emissions could have been completed in under five hours by car.

The multi-million dollar jet flew a whopping five times on February 12, the day after the final, and appeared to be transporting her celebrity friends, including Justin and Hailey Bieber, from the sporting event.

The first trip was from Las Vegas to Van Nuys and back again. It then flew from Las Vegas to Camarillo, California.

From there it flew to Phoenix, Arizona – a one hour flight – before returning to Camarillo.

The journeys would have released just under 20 tons of CO2 emissions.

DailyMail.com has contacted representatives for Kim for comment.

Kim’s eyebrow-raising jet usage comes shortly after it was revealed that she was named the second biggest celebrity C02 polluter of 2023, in data collected from the myclimate Carbon Tracker.

The reality star came second to American rapper, Travis Scott – who shares daughter Stormi, six, and two-year-old son, Aire with Kim’s half-sister, Kylie Jenner.

Her usage has also raised questions about the authenticity of her claims to be making a commitment to environmental causes with her business ventures.

According to her brand Skims, the company ‘only work with suppliers and vendors who we believe in and share our commitment to sustainability, accountability and transparency.’

It is also claimed that 10 per cent of the brand’s Ultimate Nipple Bra proceeds would go towards One per cent for the Planet, an organization dedicated to global environmental causes.

The company claims to be eco-friendly as it uses FSC recycled paper boxes and compostable bags instead of plastic and non-recyclables.

But the environmental damage caused by her jet usage has caused some fans to question her claims, with one writing simply on Instagram: ‘Eco terrorism.’

Another referenced the time she used reusable Skims cotton fabric to wrap up her Christmas present and posted: ‘But she uses reusable Christmas wrapping so it evens out [rolling eyes emoji].’

Fans might be surprised to learn that her aircraft has been used on 15 trips this year that were under 40 minutes, with eight of those journeys taking less than 15 minutes

A third wrote: ‘I don’t ever want to see some BS video of her and her class water jars, they grow own veggies etc to save the planet. This much back and fourth is insane.’

Kim is not the only member of her family to come under fire for their use of private jets.

In summer 2022, Kylie was slammed for taking a 12-minute flight on her private jet – for a 26-mile journey that would have taken just 39 minutes by car.

The 26-year-old billionaire was blasted as a ‘climate criminal’ for her short haul journey across California despite her lectures on protecting the environment.

She took her $70million ‘Kylie Air’ private plane twice across the county on July 13, and again just two days later on July 15.

The Bombardier Global 7500 jet travelled for 35 minutes from Palm Springs, just outside LA, to Van Nuys, near her $36million Hidden Hills mansion.

Two hours later the jet flew from Van Nuys, to Camarillo in Ventura County, California – a trip which took just 12 minutes.

Elsewhere, Kim is not the only one in her family to come under fire for private jet use after Kylie Jenner recently faced a backlash

Experts revealed her trip would have cost around $1600 to just fuel the plane, but if the private jet had been hired it would have set her back about $7200.

The 26-mile trip from her home in Hidden Hills, to Camarillo would have taken just 39 minutes.

But instead she drove 30 minutes in the wrong direction to Van Nuys airport, before jumping on the plane – with the journey taking longer despite the 12-minute flight.

The revelation followed a string of posts from the Keeping Up With The Kardashians star urging her fans to go green to save the planet.

Indeed, she had consistently plugged the eco-friendly products she buys for her daughter Stormi.

The reality star was also telling her social media followers that she was going ‘vegan and clean’ with her products because it was ‘time to elevate.’
