Stop Airport Flights Doubling

No to Expansion Plans

Newcastle Airport plans to double the amount of passengers, increase private jet flights, and expand the terminal and runways. We must take action now to reduce the climate destruction caused by the aviation industry. Beware of greenwashing! – the airport’s “Net Zero by 2030” plans apply only to airport hub operations – they ignore the huge quantity of current emissions released by flights, which will of course soar with expansion.

The Problem

70% of flights are taken by 15% of the UK population. Why should 100% of the population suffer the consequences of climate change when most flights are taken by a better-off minority?

Aviation currently accounts for 2.5% of global CO2 emissions from fossil fuels and land use. Increased emissions will further accelerate problems caused by climate breakdown, affecting us, wildlife, and the environment.
