Some people believe that air travel should be restricted because it causes serious pollution and will use up the world’s resources. Do you agree or disagree?

It is an irrefutable

fact

that

aircraft

is considered

as

Change preposition

one of the most prominent feats of engineering and technology. It is a proven

fact

that aeroplanes are an effective means of modern transportation in virtue of the

fact

that they can carry a large number of passengers over a long distance from one continent to another within a few hours.

Nevertheless

, some people condemn them as the culprit engendering severe

air

pollution, global warming and depletion of fossil fuels.

Therefore

,

air

travel

should be curbed to protect the environment and preserve natural resources. From my personal perspective, I totally disagree with

this

notion for the following reasons.

Firstly

, the advent of budget airlines makes it possible for flyers to

travel

to other places more frequently, which facilitates more rapid economic growth, especially tourism. Tourism has become the backbone of the world economy.

Moreover

, from the economic viewpoint, it has been reported that the aviation industry provides millions of jobs worldwide and makeup trillions of dollars in global GDP. A vast majority of enterprises like hotels,

travel

agencies, restaurants, shopping centres and leisure centres are dependent on foreign tourists.

Therefore

, if we discourage international tourism, it would concurrently create an even worse problem, i.e. unemployment.

As a result

, numerous corporations would go bankrupt and a large number of people would lose their jobs. Another reason is that

air

travel

is considered to be the fastest and luxurious way of

travel

nowadays. Due to their high thrust jet

engines

and strict compliance with the flight safety standards, states of the art

aircraft

like Boeing 787, Airbus 380 and Airbus 350 consume environmentally friendly kerosene and produce less toxic chemicals.

Also

, their new

engines

deliver up to 15% better specific fuel consumption than their predecessors.

On the contrary

, some people may assert that health is worthy of attention in modern society, so the noise pollution caused by

aircraft

turbine

engines

is absolutely unacceptable.

Moreover

, it is an undeniable

fact

that the size of aeroplane

engines

is proportional to the number of exhaust fumes emitted to the

air

throughout a long flight. Aeroplanes will persist to be an eyesore to environmentalists if the emission of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere fails to be curtailed. To put it in a nutshell, in the light of the aforementioned facts, substantial thought should be given to

air

and noise pollution caused by

aircraft

.

Instead

of restricting

air

travel

, more efficient jet

engines

should be developed to emit less carbon dioxide.

Although

air

travel

has some adverse effects on natural resources and surroundings, I firmly stand with the point that

air

travel

has become an indispensable part of our lives.
