Air traffic is increasingly leading to more noise, pollution and airport construction. One reason for this is the growth in low-cost passsenegr flights, ofte to holiday destinations. some people say that the governmanet should try to reduce the air traffic by taxing it more heavily. Do you agree or disagree?

The growing prevalence of

air

travelling is contributing to environmental

pollution

worldwide

besides

the construction of new airports. Low

air

fares to the tourist areas is thought to be amongst the leading causes of

this

phenomenon that has led many to urge for heavy levies on

such

travelling. In my opinion,

this

suggestion is flawed and I believe that there are other ways that can be more promising to reduce atmospheric

pollution

. Tourism and other holiday attractions are few of those joys that are already getting scanty because of the time pressures. Since people seldom get a vacation these days, above that planning a holiday trip in these vacations is even uncommon. Asking government to apply heavy taxation on

air

fares will

further

prevent people from travelling.

This

will not only result in the dooming tourism-based economies, but will

also

leave people with little entertainment facilities.

Moreover

,

although

this

taxation may have some impact in reducing the

air

and noise

pollution

, it seems limited and there are far more effective ways of controlling the

air

pollution

. Switching over the vehicles that use fossil fuels to the newer electric cars that have zero emission of harmful gases as well as noise

pollution

would probably be a better solution than limiting the

air

travelling.

In other words

, the collective

pollution

caused by vehicles on the roads is much more in comparison to that of planes,

thus

banning those vehicles which are run on fossil fuels would be much more effective.

For example

, Pakistan's average requirement for G10 fuel used in planes is about one-tenth of that of gasoline being used in cars and other transport.

Hence

it bolsters the view that cutting fossil fuel consuming cars is more effective than abolishing

air

travel. To conclude, hiking

air

fares due to heavy taxation will abandon people from travelling

besides

adding little towards the atmospheric protection.

Hence

it is suggested that measures like introducing electronic cars and preventing deforestation are more fruitful in combating

air

pollution

.
