That’s off by several orders of magnitude! The number I found from Nature is an estimated average of 3.6 tons of CO2 emitted per private jet flight in 2023. By contrast, a person in the United States averages about 16 tons per year. That’s still nuts to think that one private jet flight has roughly the same CO2 output as about three months of living for the average person, but I for one, have a lifetime that’s a bit longer than 3 months.
