Initiative launched to cut airport noise and emissions by Cheap Flights Booker UK

A new initiative launched to reduce aircraft noise and emissions at air travel hubs has been welcomed by BAA.
The airport operator revealed that the interim Departures Code of Practice had been compiled by a coalition including airlines, air traffic control groups and the Civil Aviation Authority.
It is based on the idea that aircraft can reduce their fuel usage and carbon dioxide emissions by between 20 and 40% if engines are shut down while the plane is taxiing into the airport.
The method could also provide a benefit for local air quality and reduce airline costs.
Jiill Brady, director of corporate responsibility at Virgin Atlantic, said: "The aviation industry is committed to reducing its environmental impact, not just globally but also locally. Improving local air quality and reducing CO2 emissions are key aims for the Sustainable Aviation coalition, which is why we welcome this Code of Practice.
"When safe and operationally feasible to do so, operators are encouraged to implement this technique of taxiing with fewer than all engines running as their standard operating procedure."
Stansted airport recently hosted an aviation industry conference that focused on issues including the environmental impact of the sector.
