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

Over the recent years, people are travelling more frequently by

flights

due to a drop in ticket prices, which caused raised in

air

pollution and noise levels. Some believe that, if government start imposing a high traffic tax, it could reduce

air

traffic significantly. I am a strong opponent of

such

practice as

this

will impact tourism and make flight travel less affordable for the public.

Firstly

, one of the biggest problems with

this

approach is that it will advertently impact the

airline

industry.

In other words

, due to high fares, people stop travelling by

flights

to their holiday destinations by which will affect the

airline

company revenue. They might prefer to travel by other cheaper means of transportation rather than expensive priced flight tickets.

For instance

, a recent delta

airline

report shows the steep decline in quarterly revenue due to a rise in tax price for

flights

travelling to exotic destinations.

Secondly

, imposing

such

high taxes makes it less affordable to a large number of mediocre families and students. Especially to families who might not be able to purchase overpriced tickets with high taxes.

For example

, The New York Times report shows that 60% of tourists cannot travel to tourist places like Miami and Las Vegas because of expensive fare rates. To conclude, government taxing airlines to reduce

air

traffic will have a minor impact on

air

pollution and noise levels.

This

approach is not worth considering to improve the current situation because it will decrease

airline

company revenue and make it less affordable to the visitors and the general public travelling by

flights

to vacation places.
