Airport Expansion

Airport Expansion

Nottingham East Midlands Airport plans an expansion in flights.

While this might be welcomed by those seeking more holiday destinations, its easy to overlook the environmental impact. Air flight has the highest output of pollution of any civilian travel. Each flight adds greatly to the environmental impact on the ozone layer & the atmosphere, accelerating climate change.
