BBC Future: “Posing this hypothetical question opens up the door to what we could be doing far more of to reduce aviation’s heavy impact on the climate. … How would this new world without airplanes affect people around the globe?
Holidays would mostly need to be done in places accessible by train, bus, car and ferry, nudging people towards staying in their own or nearby countries.
Corporate climate targets would see an instant boost as business travel ground to a halt – 90% of business travel emissions currently come from aviation.
Supply chains and timelines would need huge adjustments. Businesses and consumers are becoming increasingly used to having globally sourced goods delivered within days: a world with no flying would lengthen this time considerably.
