CHEAP AIR TRAVELS GIVES ORDINARY PEOPLE THE FREEDOM TO TRAVEL BUT OTHERS FEEL THAT AIR TRAVEL ADDS TO THE WORLD’S ENVIRONMENTAL PROBLEMSYou may have many reasons for travels from one destination to another. Some of the reason could be a honeymoon trip with your love one, vacation with your family or even a business trip. And most of the people will choose the cheapest way to travel. Nowadays, air travel has become a common transportation among most of the people in this world. According to US travel association, there are approximately 1,423,500,000 people travels by airplane per year and about 3,900,000 passengers travel by flight every day.Because of the huge number of people using air travel to travel, many airlines all over the world offer cheap flight rates that people can afford. Many of people today prefer to choose travel by cheap air travel because it gives a person the chance to travel to places where he would like to visit with only a minimum amount. With little money spent for the flights ticket, travellers have more money saved to make his holiday more memorable and interesting. As we all know, that cheap air travel will make long-distance travel affordable for common people, which is an advantages for us.First of all, as there are more tourists take air travels to other countries, and they will learn and understand the culture the country they visit. In other words, i t will promote mutual understanding and cultural exchange between countries. As a result, the world will become more peaceful and we all can live in harmony. In addition to this, more visitors from other countries will stimulate local tourism, which would increase tax revenues especially in those tourism-focused counties. Therefore governments would have more funds to invest into basic fields, such as infrastructure, health insurance and education.Moreover, because people could afford travel, they may get relaxed and release heavy pressure from life or work when they travelling to the place that they love. However, low-cost air travels have been subject to criticism by governments and regulators all over the world. It is because aircraft are one of the major sources of greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide (CO2), water vapour, and nitrogen oxides (NOx) that can cause air pollution. It is one of the cause that contributors to global environmental problems such as ozone depletion, c limate change and etc. Air travel has been estimated to contribute between 3-30% of global warming.A study conducted by Mayer Hillman, Town & Country Planning magazine in September 1996, they estimated that a single transatlantic return flight emits almost half the CO2 emissions. One recent study has estimated that, if the Airport grows as planned, CO2 emissions by 2020 could be greater than from all other transport in the regional catchment. And some agencies devoted to monitoring and protecting the environment said that the fares should be made more expensive and by doing that it will discourage people from using the air plane. In my opinion, everyone should have the chance to travel by air.Aircraft or airplane is not the biggest contributor to climate change so far. Many countries already have levies included in the price of the airline ticket or carbon taxes. This can offset the carbon produced during the flight. In conclusion, I personally believe that the advantages of cheap a irfare outweigh its disadvantages in terms of boosting cultural understanding and improving living standard. Although there are also some drawbacks but I believe they could be solved with the technology development such as discovery of new environmental friendly fuels, which can improvement of plane safety.
