1st quarter 2025 #nightflights shows @BristolAirport are STILL abusing #dispensations
Dispensations are for #emergencies - not for allowing an extra 25% more night flights
Scheduled night flights = 150
ACTUAL night flights = 289
Dispensations = 75

Think CO2 is the only harmful thing planes produce?
Aviation produces other emissions that cause even more global warming impacts
The biggest warming effects come from:
nitrogen oxides (NOX)
emissions of water vapour & soot

Well done @VoteClimateUK
They have called out @UKLabour decision to expand @STN_Airport #StanstedAirport as a #ClimateCrime
Useful summary in pics of Labour's first 100 days & how their climate promises have stacked up

Noise isn't 'just a nuisance'
Research by @uniofleicester estimated ~17,000 DALYs (Disability Adjusted Life Years) from UK aircraft noise in 2018
DALYs = years lived with poor health & lives lost due to premature death

Want to know what people living under the flight path think about @BristolAirport and the number of night flights it allows?

@BAANcc
Flying is detrimental to human health
Aircraft noise can lead to wide-ranging health issues, particularly noise during the night
The burning of aircraft fuel releases pollutants that cause thousands of premature deaths

Wear PJs & dressing gown (+🧸) to emphasise the problem of broken sleep
#WeNeedToFlyLess
On 13th September organisations in a large number of countries will be calling for a ban on night flights. An impressive list of groups have already signed up:

Flights are 'dirt cheap' because airlines don't pay tax and they expect others to clean up the pollution they create.
There's no cheap flights on a dead planet...

This is insanely unacceptable behaviour which seems to be endorsed by The Bristol Post without critique. Flying 'awaydays' have no regard to the fact that we are facing a climate catastrophe especially as more destinations by plane are experiencing lethal record temperatures.
Absolutely
What benefit do transfer passengers give apart from a bit of extra profit for @HeathrowAirport ?
They just pollute our skies & create extra noise pollution
#WeNeedToFlyLess
The @guardianeco constantly platforms special pleading by the UKs genocidal aviation industry.
Why should we want 100,000 extra transfer passengers using Heathrow, without entering UK?!
Judging by the last two years, you're WAY more likely to be delayed by security, lack of staff & poor organisation than by demos at @BristolAirport
Protestors can't take out injunctions against #ClimateWreckingAirports

We believe @BristolAirport exceeded their 2023 #NightFlight quota
Our data shows 600-1000 more night flights than the 4,000 quota
> 800 flights excused thro 'dispensations'
But residents suffered extra noise & more disturbed sleep

We have to stop burning fossil fuels
But what are the world's governments doing?
Increasing burning them
Time to keep fossil fuels in the ground
#WeNeedToFlyLess
"Science is really clear that if we're trying to stabilise the climate & meet the climate agreement all world governments have signed up to we have to stop burning fossil fuels
Yet what are world governments doing? They're increasing the production & supply of fossil fuels!"

UK Environmental Audit Committee (@CommonsEAC ) calling for aviation industry to be held accountable
EAC recommend that UK Gov develop policy proposals on demand reduction, inc reducing the cost of rail travel & a frequent flyer levy

@CostaCoffee
PLEASE don't encourage people to take unnecessary flights by offering them as prizes
Coffee production is fragile
IPCC reports indicate that climate change will reduce worldwide yields & decrease coffee-suitable land
Protect our coffee growers
#WeNeedToFlyLess
Coffee production is being impacted by the #ClimateCrisis & yet @CostaCoffee have teamed up with Jet 2 to increase the problem. There is no coffee on #PlanetB

France showing the way...

@Glutenfreescone @RobBryher Yep - plans in the pipeline already for going up to 15 million passengers
Mind you - it took them >4 years to get planning permission last time
So they can expect another long fight…

#TaxAviationFuel
#PolluterPays
'A global flat tax of $25 tax per flight or a frequent flyer levy starting at $9 for a person’s second flight would have led to $121 billion of revenue in 2019 alone'.
Let's tax air travel properly
And charge VAT on kerosene
