Flying 'must be treated fairly'

When it comes to considering the environmental impact of flying, it is important that people do not just assume that because it is in the air it must be bad, a sector commentator has suggested.

Peter Morris, chief economist at Ascend, said that all forms of transport, including cars and trains, needed to be looked at in a balanced and subjective way.

"If you are finding that train companies are increasing their fares more and more and the air companies are able to make a profit without doing that, then people are going to vote with their feet understandably," he added.

Mr Morris stated that the actual price paid by people in order to fly was also a consideration.
