Von der Leyen traveled remarkably often by private jet last year, including between Brussels and Strasbourg

European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen flew on a private plane 23 times last year. This puts her far ahead of the 27 EU commissioners, according to a document requested on Wednesday by left-wing EU politician Martin Schirdewan. According to a code of conduct for EU commissioners, private planes may only be used in exceptional cases.
