Trains over Planes report says disruption to commuters would be minimal
Banning flights on routes with fast rail connections could cut the UK’s emissions from domestic aviation by a third, a report has found.
The report by the thinktank Intergenerational Foundation (IF) found that domestic aviation was responsible for the emission of 2.7 megatonnes of CO2 in 2019 alone – the equivalent of the annual emissions from 1.7 million petrol cars or the energy to power 700,000 UK homes for a year.
