A tech wizard who is famous for calling out celebrities for constantly hopping on their private jets just to make less than 45 minutes flight, recently reported the number of times the reality TV sisters have been on air.
The tracker whose name is Jack Sweeney, 22, used his site “Celebrity Private Jet Tracker” to share that Kim who bought her jet for $150M has made about 69 trips with it from January 2023 to date. This means that the mom of four covered a total of 146,097 miles, and consumed 119,570 gallons of fuel.
Coming to Kylie’s extravagance, Jack reported through the Instagram account he dedicated to Kylie, “@kyliejennerjet,” that the “Kylie Cosmetics” founder has made about 45 trips since last year clocking up 76,548 miles.
The shocking thing is that some of the trips made by both sisters have always been within the shores of Los Angeles, mostly between LAX, Camarillo Airport, and Van Nuys.
Following his upload, his followers came under the post to attack the sisters for choosing not to drive. One person said, “A f**king 17 minute flight. For f**k sake,” another said, “Ridiculous. Can’t she drive?” and a third opined, “f**king insane. She could drive there faster.”

Kim Kardashian — Kylie Was Once Labeled A “Full-Time Climate Criminal
Two years ago, in July 2022, Kylie took to her social media to upload a black-and-white photo of herself and her then-boyfriend, Travis Scott, hugging each other in the middle of two private jets. Kylie captioned the snap: “You wanna take mine or yours?” but her flex probably didn’t get the reaction that she anticipated.
The long and short of everything is that social media got hot real quick, and before Kylie knew what was going on, her post had already gone viral on the then Twitter as horrified people accused Kylie of being “a full time climate criminal.”
She was accused of “bragging” about “her absolute disregard for the planet” as the damage that private jets do to the planet was highlighted online. Amid the backlash, some delved deeper into Kylie’s flight history and discovered that her jet has been used for flights as short as three minutes.

Kylie Jenner — Reactions From Fans After Her Post
While it is not confirmed whether the mom of two was on the plane at the time, records show that it flew from Camarillo, California, to Van Nuys, California, that month. The journey would have taken just 40 minutes by car.
One person tweeted. “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.”
Another reacted to Kylie’s Instagram post by writing: “Kylie Jenner truly is one of the worst celebrities out there. Not her flexing her absolute disregard for the planet.”
“Famous people are so OUT of touch with reality, like, how did she not think she’d get backlash for that,” a third said. “@KylieJenner read the room. Our planet is dying, climate change is a real issue.”
“Kylie Jenner: full time climate criminal. These jets should never be allowed to take off,” someone else said in response to the three-minute flight.
“The hourly carbon footprint of most private jets is larger than the average annual carbon footprint for one American btw,” another tweeted.
“This is depressing as fuck actually, considering working class ppl are constantly being told to alter their/our habits to fight climate change while people w money can just pollute the earth all day,” one more observed.
Kylie bought her $72.8 million private jet, Kylie Air, shortly before the COVID-19 pandemic hit, and it includes an entertainment room, master suite, and huge closet space.
