Private jet CEO: Airlines fabricating fuel shortage to cancel flights

The CEO of a private jet company disputes claims of a global jet fuel shortage, attributing flight cancellations to airlines seeking to drop unprofitable routes. Greg Raiff, CEO of Elevate Jet, stated that demand for private aviation has not decreased and has slightly increased. He suggests that airlines are using the perceived shortage as a pretext to cancel less lucrative flights and maintain airport slots, while also noting instances of price-gouging at private terminals.
