Research has been conducted over the years showing the serious effects of aircraft noise pollution, especially on children. Aircraft noise pollution has been a tough discussion in politics, as many struggle to define how to approach it and what to limit. Pollution that is released from aircrafts have been becoming more and more of an issue in the past years. So much so, the EPA issued a "Advance Notice of Proposed Rule-making" in 2015 that would set standards for emissions coming from Aircrafts to counter the amount of emissions that are released. These emissions standards fall under the Clean Air act as well.

If more sustainable efforts aren't taken to counter act the amount of emissions that are released by commercial planes, the amount of greenhouse gas and other emissions can triple by 2050. That is tripling the amount of emissions pre-covid levels. Adding to reducing air travel

The question many do ask is, should we cut out flying all together in order to help counter climate change? The aviation industry itself is responsible for 5% of global warming. Data from the ICCT, the International Council on Clean Transportation, found that only 3% of the global population take regular flights. The carbon footprint of those people who do take regular flights are mostly made up from the flights themselves. Even though fuel efficiency measures have been taken over the past decades, it cannot keep up with the demand to fly. Emissions from flights rose over 32% between 2013 and 2018. When fuel efficiency in the industry rises 1%, the demand to fly will rise even more, therefore causing no positive effect. According to BEIS, the UK’s Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, a regular domestic flight will release almost 250g of C02 emissions every kilometer it travels, the most out of all transportation options.
