Speculation. But it has been mentioned before in this thread that flying a celebrity does probably come with pressure even if it is not directly applied. Easier to land or turn around if it is some guy's sightseeing trip - "here is a voucher for next Saturday". How many bands / singers died in plane crashes? And we haven't even talked about the entire Polish government getting wiped out in bad weather ...
