Ed Sheeran Prefers Budget Airlines for Environmental Reasons
In a surprising revelation during a recent episode of The Louis Theroux Podcast, global music sensation Ed Sheeran, whose net worth is estimated at $350 million, discussed his aversion to private jets. Contrary to expectations, the 34-year-old artist expresses a preference for budget airlines, citing environmental concerns as his motivation.
Sheeran shared an experience flying home from a European concert, reminiscing about a time he found himself on a flight filled with enthusiastic fans returning from a "lads’ trip." This prompted a discussion about his comfort with public transport, surprisingly affirming his enjoyment of it. “Love it,” he stated when asked about his travel preference.
The singer’s commitment to sustainability comes partly from the influence of his wife, Cherry Seaborn, who works in the environmental sector. He recounted flying back on a Ryanair flight from Italy with fans, stressing, “We try to fly completely normally as much as possible.” His down-to-earth attitude was further emphasized when he clarified that private jet usage is minimal and reserved for essential work-related travel.
Reflecting on his experiences, Sheeran humorously recounted the challenges of flying in economy, especially with young children, giving an anecdote about an awkward moment with a fan while dealing with his child’s mishap.
In an era where celebrities face backlash for excessive private jet use, Sheeran’s candidness and commitment to flying smaller airlines position him as a refreshing contrast to contemporaries criticized for their environmental footprint.
