Some people believe that air travel should be restricted because it causes air pollution.To what extent do you agree or disagree?

In recent years, there has been a dramatic rise in

air

pollution. Some believe that controlling the number of

flights

might help curtail

this

alarming problem. I disagree with

this

because I feel that there are other ways to tackle

this

issue and imposing these restrictions can have negative effects on trade and the economy.

Although

reducing

air

travel is a fair method to decrease

air

pollution, there are much better ways to do so.

Firstly

, governmental organizations can work on creating fuel-efficient aeroplane models,

this

will help decrease exhaust gases generated by aviation systems. Recent studies have shown that using better-designed engines can reduce fumes by 30%. Authorities can

also

make use of certain legislative measures to ensure that all airway lines are making use of energy-conserving planes. These steps will encourage pilots and crew members to keep a watch on the fuel consumed and

hence

help reduce the gases released into the atmosphere.

Moreover

, preventing

flights

from functioning could have certain detrimental effects.

Air

travel is essential for exporting and importing goods, these restrictions will impair trade. Travel and tourism which generate loads of financial benefits will suffer drastically.

For instance

, several developing countries like Sri Lanka rely heavily on the tourism industry for boosting their economy,and a ban on certain aeroplane

flights

might affect the financial growth of these types of countries.

Hence

this

solution to reduce atmospheric pollution will have many monetary repercussions and will affect developing nations enormously. In conclusion, I believe that decreasing the number of

flights

travelling from one place to another is not a good solution to deal with

this

pressing problem. There are alternative measures which can be employed without resulting in financial and trade losses.
