New York Gov. Kathy Hochul has spent $415,000 on at least 30 private jet flights since 2021, according to records obtained from the New York State Board of Elections records by the New York Post.

“It’s very wasteful, especially for an elected official. There is no reason why any elected official in New York should be taking a private jet. Nearly everywhere in New York or upstate has a [commercial] airport that will take you anywhere in the country. New York is one of the most well-connected places on the planet,” one local pilot told the Post.

Records indicate Hochul flew with two private airlines, Zephyr Jets and Apollo Jets, in the last four years. The destinations of the flights were not listed, but costs per flight amounted anywhere from $5,000 to $38,594.00.
