Some people argue that air travel should be restricted due to pollution and excessive fuel consumption. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

The impact of

air

travel

on the environment has been the topic of continuous debate in recent years, following the concern that more and more people refer to it as a convenient means of

travel

. I feel that restrictions should be imposed on

air

travel

. The

first

undeniable factor is that

aircraft

accounts for a large proportion of

air

pollution

. Planes, either idling or taxiing, contribute a large part of local emission annually. There are some suggestions that

air

travel

is one of the most suitable modes of transport for long-distance trips.

This

idea is,

however

, fallacious. Trains,

for instance

, can

also

serve as an optimal alternative, consuming less energy and causing less contamination. So it is highly recommended, that the government imposes restrictions for

travel

. Along with

air

pollution

,

aircraft

can cause noise

pollution

.

Although

it is impossible to precisely measure the actual impact of noise on people’s everyday lives, its ability to increase anxiety and disturbance levels has been confirmed. Especially to those living in the neighbourhood of an airport and around the flight paths, noise problems created by

aircraft

is a headache.

However

, the

air

is indeed the only fastest means of transport to fly across countries. So it should be operated in

such

a way that its strengths can be taken maximum advantage

For instance

, by replacing old engines with cleaner ones, people can mitigate the negative effect caused by flying. In light of those facts discussed above, substantial consideration should be given to

pollution

caused by

aircraft

.

Air

travel

should be preferred only when there are no other means of transport available.
