    Most of the airports that private jets fly in and out of do have a tower. Also, there’s a lot of ground holds recently due to en route controller shortages which limits how much traffic can be in the air, which of course affects private jets as well.

      Yeah but lots of those towered smaller airports are staffed by contractor companies where the controllers are still getting paid normally rn
