A spokesperson for Kerry confirms to Fox News Digital the jet was sold over the summer

Special Presidential Envoy for Climate John Kerry’s family quietly sold their private jet to a New York-based hedge fund following intense criticism of the plane’s carbon footprint in light of Kerry’s work fighting global warming.

The Kerry family’s private jet, a Gulfstream GIV-SP, is no longer owned by his family’s charter firm Flying Squirrel LLC., according to Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) registration information reviewed by Fox News Digital. 

In financial filings submitted since joining the Biden administration, Kerry had reported that his wife Teresa Heinz-Kerry owned a stake worth more than $1 million in the firm.

The plane’s registered owner is now listed as AV Aviation LLC., a small firm based at the Waterbury-Oxford Airport in Connecticut. Documents filed with the Connecticut state government shows that AC Aviation is a subsidiary of the New York City hedge fund AC Investment Management which specializes in renewable energy and clean technology investments and manages funds worth hundreds of millions of dollars.

FAA filings suggest that the plane was transferred from Flying Squirrel to AC Aviation on Aug. 22. Four days later, an individual named Yvonne Rivera requested the FAA place an industry-level Limiting Aircraft Data Displayed (LADD) on the aircraft to block it from being publicly tracked, according to information obtained by Fox News Digital via Freedom of Information Act. 

However, the plane, which most recently flew from Connecticut to Los Angeles this week, is still trackable.

“Secretary Kerry travels commercially in his role as Special Presidential Envoy for Climate,” Whitney Smith, a spokesperson for Kerry, told Fox News Digital in a statement. “I can confirm the plane previously owned by his wife’s family was sold last summer.”

Smith added Kerry doesn’t have a relationship with AC Investment Management and wasn’t involved in the LADD request.
