Chartering a private jet isn't the issue. 

The issue is getting clearance forms processed at speed and securing an available flight slot. 
The US government is shutdown at the moment - none of the workers in the aviation sector are being paid. At the start of the week it was reported that half of the 30 major US airports have staff shortages which is leading to delays at all US airports and widespread flight cancellations.
On friday 6,200 flights were delayed.
This weekend, 4,500 flights were delayed on Saturday and 500 cancelled. 
In NYC - home to some of the busiest airports in the US, 80% of air traffic control staff are absent from work as they take up alternative work to ensure they get a paycheck. 

3.2 million air passengers had delayed or cancelled flights this weekend.
2,9000 flights were delayed yesterday alone. 
79% of delays and cancellations on Monday were due to staff shortages in ATC.

Like, even if they were able to pay over the odds for fast processing etc there's no staff for people to pay to speed the process up lol 

No, it’s racism. Stop making excuses.

Interestingly, the other members of the film's cast showed up; the only unexpected thing was her absence.

Well, I see it's better to stop here. Arguing with Americans and Europeans is very difficult, you have trouble understanding. You manage to invalidate the opinions of an entire region in fact, you've been doing this for centuries.  

Again, only further proving my point lmao.

There are concerts already booked in for summer 2026 though, Take That and The Weeknd are confirmed. Only reason I can think she couldn’t do there is because Oasis are rumoured and they’d 1000% take priority for the booking! 

Just double checked and its actually due to open in 2026, so thanks for the correction! 

I mean the other reason is that most UK stadiums have event quotas imposed on them for out of season usage. Anfield for example is limited to 6 concerts in June by the local authority, Twickenham Stadium is limited to around 30 including all the international rugby events it hosts. 
And then football stadiums that get used for domestic sport tend to stop events in early July to reseed the pitch ready for the Prem starting in Mid-August. 

So outside of London, the concerts are fighting over scraps for stadium venues lol

See how dumb you are? It's hard to believe you even have schools there. I only know because every day some crazy person comes in shooting.

I mean there's an explanation for that - they were on different flights, from different locations and those flights even if they originated in the US didn't have a mechanical issue requiring a safety check. 

Like the cast don't live and travel together, it's an A list blockbuster not a indie outfit lol The chances are not a single one of the main cast were on the same flights and travelling from the same location as one another.

My goodness, it seems like ChatGPT is responding, with a brain completely consumed by hamburgers and cheddar cheese. I am confident it will repeat the message.

Diva, this user’s on a tear, no point in trying to engage with them rationally.

What else am I supposed to say if you insist on proving my point over and over again?

Yes, I am out of control and I cannot argue rationally because I am Latina and I am not civilized like you. It's a good thing I'm in Brazil. If I were in the US, this user would have already called ICE

Gotta give you credit: without an ounce of self-awareness, you manage to make my point even more clearly every time you respond.

The day you Americans and Europeans look at the rest of the world, you will discover that it is not only Latinos who hate you. It will be a reality shock, and I'll stop arguing because I don't do that with AI
