I can't stop laughing (h/t @futuristpaul). I was doing this about a decade ago, I even gave a public presentation on this circa 2010. I find it hilarious that execs are still leaking such information through private jet use. It's pathetically easy to mask the signals ->
The number of times I've used this in presentations over the last decade ... I'm truly amazed that ... well, actually ... given the leading edge to laggards in the corporate world can be 25 years, I suppose execs will be leaking like sieves for another decade.
However ... the National Business Aviation Association quote to "develop new tools for more effectively blocking data on private aircraft" ... is the icing on the cake, I'm currently rolling around in fits of laugher. Where do they dig these muppets up from?
It's like watching washing lines of foreign sailors to determine when a submarine fleet is about to set sail (a very old trick) ... you either develop magic technology to prevent people from watching or you buy Sailors tumble dryers. Remove the signal, don't try to hide it.
X : How do you mask signals?
Me : Reassign registration (change tail numbers) every week. Randomise travel (i.e. more public transport in the rota) and expand use of private jet to other staff. Use video conferencing. Hold meetings in a sea of meetings, at big conferences etc ...

... you can't stop a dedicated watcher, i.e. someone like me will always find a way through the masks but you can prevent casual analysis. The goal is to make the other person / company easier to track than you.
