But not because their emissions matter the most (fixing old, methane-leaking gas fields is probably the most efficient way to cut global emissions), but because they are a symbol of arrogant arseholism.Some data:
Aviation accounts for around 2.5% of global CO₂ emissions, but 3.5% when we take non-CO₂ impacts on climate into account.
https://ourworldindata.org/co2-emissions-from-aviationCommercial passenger aviation makes up 71% of the global proportion of total aviation fuel use, whereas commercial freight aviation accounts for 17%, military aviation 8%, and private aviation 4%. Even though private aviation makes up only a small portion of the total aviation fuel use, private aviation is the most energy-intense form of air travel (Gössling and Humpe, 2020).

...and military the most stupid...Those who can afford to own a private jet make up just 0.0008% of the global population.
Tax them. Most global problems solved.
