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

Currently

due to

economic prosperity, travelling by

air

has become more and more popular. Some

people

hold the opinion that it should be cheap to help ordinary

people

have easy access to

travel

further

.

However

, others argue that expensive

air

travel

should be encouraged in order to protect the environment. I will discuss both views with some solid examples.

People

can

travel

to other

countries

by

air

, gaining insight into foreign

countries

and obtaining better job opportunities. Some students,

for example

,

travel

to other

countries

where they can be exposed to different cultures and customs and put foreign languages in context.

As a result

, they can improve their ability to foreign languages and have a comprehensive and deep understanding of local cultures and customs.

Besides

, some

people

may

travel

to other

countries

, and find a well-paid job.

Also

, some businessmen may run multinational corporations, so they need to

travel

frequently. If the airfare rises, they may lose these opportunities.

However

, the more expensive cost of

air

service may diminish the adverse effect of the

aviation

industry.

People

are reluctant to

travel

because of high prices.

Thus

, the number of flights will be reduced and

aviation

exhaust emissions like carbon dioxide will experience a decrease, improving

air

quality and delaying global warming. What’s more, the contamination of noise and environmental destruction caused by the construction of airports and other

aviation

facilities will decrease dramatically. In a nutshell, my view is that cheap

air

travel

is more reasonable because

people

nowadays are under huge pressure,especially those living in big cities, so they need to have a chance to

travel

to other places to get away from their daily life.

For example

, they can visit some tropical islands to enjoy local snacks rather than stay at home. But it is necessary for

aviation

companies to cut down the strain on the environment through technological innovation.
