An awful lot more than you might think. It's a remarkably bad idea to put all the key figures of an entity such as a government into the same vehicle, in case something bad happens and you lose them all simultaneously. You'll note I'm not venturing into the idea that it might be no great loss, or the journey itself might not be worth the resulting environmental damage- that's been covered already.
I used to work for a company whose managers and directors were all sent on a teambuilding p*ss up once a year (I briefly held the "most guinnesses before vomiting" record- it gained far more peer respect than these outward bound courses where you argue abour how to build a bridge out of barrels and string). They were quite pleased to be able to get the number of planes down to three, by working out how they'd allocate the responsibilities of each person if they were lost, then making sure those who got that allocation weren't on the same plane.
