In the last decade, there has been a great increase in global air travel. What do you think are the reasons for this and do you think it is a good thing?

Air

travel

has become an indispensable part of individuals, over the

last

few years. I believe, an increase in the number of flights has occurred because of several reasons and has more benefits than its disadvantages. One of the paramount reasons for travelling by

air

is reduced

travel

costs. Travelling in planes was expensive in the past days and only the rich could afford it. But now, the number of airlines has increased and to compete with others, each airline is offering huge discounts on tickets. So, people are now able to sightseeing far distances at the lowest prices and without putting pressure on their pockets. Another reason is that booking a ticket is very straightforward comparatively. In past,

for instance

, only

travel

agents could help people with booking flights but now online booking has made it effortless and it could be done in a few minutes. The increase in

air

travel

is because it comes with multiple benefits and time efficiency is one of them. A person can

travel

to places in a few hours by means of

air

transportation.

For example

, to

travel

from Punjab to Maharashtra it takes only 3 hours to reach by plane,

however

, if a train is taken

instead

travel

time extends to 20 hours approximately which is exhausting.

Moreover

, immigrants living abroad can visit their families whenever they want and families could go on vacation to different countries. The only drawback of travelling by

air

is the bad impact on the environment. Aviation fuel is wasted on planes, in research, it is proven to be most dangerous to the environment. Noise pollution is

also

a concern, which is quite disturbing for the people living nearby airports. In conclusion, the advantages of travelling by

air

made it prominent among the masses on a world level. But the government should find more ways to eradicate its bad effects on the environment.
