impacts of aviation on the

Economy, climate & environment

Aviation has positive and negative impacts on society. The positive impacts mainly accrue to businesses and consumers. Aviation enables them to reach distant destinations quickly and at relatively low cost. This means that businesses can reduce their costs by locating near an airport. Thereby, airports have a positive impact on the local business climate and employment.

However, aviation also has negative impacts on the climate and the environment. Climate impacts are caused by greenhouse gas emissions and the formation of contrails. Environmental effects consist of noise pollution, air pollution and damage to nature and buildings.

Impact studies provide insight into the positive and negative impacts of aviation.
