Stop airport expansion: halt all airport expansion plans across the UK

Summary

More than 20 airports across the UK have expansion plans, which will result in a combined increase of 60%+ capacity. More flights means more emissions, at a time when we should be doing everything we can to reduce emissions and avert climate catastrophe. More flights also mean more noise and air pollution, which is linked to poor physical and mental health for those living near airports. The Climate Change Committee says there should be no net airport expansion unless aviation is outperforming its emission baselines. Local people and politicians oppose airport expansion plans, but central government can overrule their decisions. We think airports are big enough. Stop airport expansion.
