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?

In recent times, the increasing number of budget

would be an appropriate answer to these issues.

Although

, I am of the opinion that

action would do more harm than good. Raised

taxes

on air traffic would naturally result in fewer

and

this

would be advantageous for a number of reasons.

Firstly

, with the resulting reduction in

flights

, fewer

airports

would need to be constructed.

This

may be a good outcome because

airports

are very costly for governments seeing that expensive infrastructure

such

as roads and rail lines are required to reach them.

Secondly

, with fewer

flights

comes less pollution.

This

would be a great result for the environment because aircraft run on fossil fuels and significantly contribute to global warming.

However

, there are significant drawbacks associated with decreased numbers of people flying. First of all,

this

tax would lead to many job losses. Airlines and

airports

employ many thousands of people and without

mass unemployment would be the alternative.

In addition

, considering the fact that many of these

flights

are to tourist destinations, the economies of tourist hotspots would be severely damaged.

This

would greatly reduce the income of restaurants and equipment hire businesses and devastate entire communities. In conclusion,

while

raising

taxes

may seem like a good idea, I believe that the negative effects of

change would be far greater than any of its possible advantages.
