Air traffic is increasingly leading to more noise, pollution, and airport constuction. 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 recent years there has been an enormous increase in

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

Firstly

, one of the biggest problems with

approach is that it will inadvertently impact the tourism industry.

In other words

, due to high fares, people will stop travelling by aeroplane to holiday destinations, which will affect the airline company's revenues. They might prefer to travel by cheaper means of transportation rather than expensive flight tickets.

For example

, Virgin Airlines, a recent report shows a steep decline in company revenues due to an increase in taxes for flights to exotic destinations.

Secondly

, imposing

Moreover

For example

, in The Sunday Times, a recent report shows that there was a 60% decrease in the flights to Gold Coast and Tasmania due to expensive airfares. To conclude, the government's strategy to reduce

This
