Private jet flights

15.9.2021

Question for written answer  E-004238/2021
to the Commission
Rule 138
Moritz Körner (Renew)

According to the news site Politico, the EU has increased the amount it plans to spend on ‘air taxi’ flights for officials to EUR 13.5 million[1]. According to Politico, ‘the new four-year contract – which will cover flights for the European Commission, the Parliament, the Council and the External Action Service – replaces the existing five-year arrangement that set EUR 10.71 million as the maximum value that could be spent on private jets between 2016 and 2021.’

Can the Commission provide a list of the itinerary and cost of each private jet flight that took place between 2016 and 2021, including the name of the EU official(s) for whom the flight was booked and their function (Commissioner, Director-General, head of unit, etc.)?
