The Environmental Impact of Low Cost & Normal Airlines

How low cost airlines have an effect:

Low cost airlines have made air travel accessible to the masses. Yet at the same time the operations of these airlines have a major impact on the environment. Low cost airlines operate on a business model where profits are made from increasing the volume of passengers who fly. This means an increase in the frequency of flights as compared to any other average airline. This translates into an increase in carbon emissions being generated.
