Airport expansion DOESN'T boost economic growth
More flights = more emissions
More flights = harm to wildlife & local communities
Only a few benefit but we ALL pay the price

But woefully inadequate 1 line mention of #aviation - the most polluting form of transport
#SAF WON'T fix the issue
No UK SAF plants yet despite 5 being promised by 2025
SAF uptake is ~2% in the UK & >1% globally
#WeNeedToFlyLess
Some encouraging news in an area which is vital to both the economy and the environment, particularly to a region like the North East

#BristolAirport figures show <10% of passengers are non-UK
SO
Over 90% of flights are taking money OUT of our economy & spending it abroad
Millions of passengers spending £££ abroad
vs
a few hundred extra jobs & profits for foreign shareholders?
NOT good

#DAC or #CCS or #CCUS all are just myths which allow companies - and in particular airlines - to carry on polluting
It's much more cost-efficient in the long term to limit pollution now - not hope to clear it up later

Costs are falling much slower than anticipated, casting doubts on the nascent technique’s role in tackling climate change.

2024 #ONS stats show deficit has now risen to £46billion
How can more holiday flights be good for our economy?

Scheduled nightflights = 1487
ACTUAL nightflights = 1895

We are petitioning the government to stop all airport expansion across the UK. Please help us tell our politicians that we don't want more noise and emissions.
Airports are big enough. Sign the petition ✍️ and share! petition.parliament.uk/petitions/71...

“It’s true that Bristol Airport supports a great many jobs in our region, and is a major driver of economic growth"
IS it true tho?
Maybe she should look at our evidence rather than simply swallowing what the airport says?

That's almost as many night flights as #Heathrow
90% of night flights happen in the summer
So they're especially disturbing
and very damaging for the health of local residents
We shouldn't let this happen
