Many people think cheap air travel should be encouraged because it give ordinary people freedom to travel further. However, others think this leads to Environmental problem, so air travel should be more expensive in order to discourage people from having it. Discuss both views and give your own opinion.

Against the backdrop of the interaction between countries, travelling abroad became more common for everyone and air

travel

got more convenient with the advent of cheap

flights

.

On the other hand

, some argue that taking into account the environmental impacts triggered by air

travel

, it must be more expensive to deter people from enjoying the

travel

casually. I can neither support nor opposition the given statement for the following reasons. Turning to the environmental concerns, it is fact that air

travel

gives a certain negative

impact

on the

environment

, especially due to the carbon emission during the

flight

. According to the Ministry of

Environment

in Japan, the CO2 emission yielded by one

flight

from Tokyo to Singapore is equivalent to the destruction of 25km2 of forests. Given that there are two

flights

per day, the damages on the nature are significantly considerable.

Besides

this

, in response to the increase in the number of

flights

as more people take the advantage of cheap

flights

, it is required the expansion of runways and airport terminals that leads to deforestation and ecosystem destruction.

Thus

, it is reasonable to set a higher price for the

flights

to prevent people use the

flight

frequently concerning the

impact

on nature.

However

Add a comma

,However

show examples

though, the airline

companies

are not merely increasing the number of cheap

flights

to promote casual travelling but as well as they introduce some preventative measures against the environmental

impact

.

For instance

, one of the most famous airline

companies

in Japan called ANA (All Nippon Airways) donates 5% of its revenue per

flight

for the plantation of trees.

This

is known as a part of CSR (corporate social responsibility) that seeks the opportunities of compensation against a negative

impact

on the socio-economics including the

environment

which yielded through the company's business activities.

Moreover

, against the backdrop of the development of technologies, a company

such

as Boeing launches some new aircraft that have less emission of CO2. Those aircraft are proactively adopted by airline

companies

these days. To summarize, I do not take any position, rather stand at neutral towards the statement because the

companies

introduce several countermeasures against the concerns, while it is too fact that more

flights

give more damages to the

environment

.
