Aviation is one of the hardest sectors to decarbonise with existing technology and researchers have stressed the importance of curbing the growing demand for flights through measures that affect the price of a ticket. Researchers have proposed putting levies on frequent flyers – a tax that rises with each extra flight a person takes – and ending subsidies to the sector.

I saw like 5 planes in the sky today. At the same time. They were clearly all in different heights, but even so, i think it's a lot.

I used to love traveling by plane, but Boeing destroyed that...

Also, the 2 Astronauts are still on the space station. Let that massive Boeing fuck up sink in.

Sorry for the distraction.
