The 57-year-old singer – whose 2007 song ‘Hey You’ highlighted global warming – opted to take her 12 seater private jet, resulting in an estimated travel time of one hour and 25 minutes when including travel to and from the airports.However, driving the 126 miles from Birmingham to London would have only taken approximately two hours and 11 minutes.
It's estimated Madonna's journey would have contributed 2.907 tonnes of carbon emissions while a stretch limo would have produced just 0.081. Staff at Birmingham airport were reportedly “stunned” to see Madonna board the plane for the £10,000 25-minute flight last week, according to a report.
