I Believe I Can Fly?

Costing the Earth

Available for over a year

The last six months have been tough for aviation. Even before the coronavirus pandemic grounded large numbers of planes, the need to address its impact on the environment was looming large over the industry. In this programme Tom Heap asks what lies ahead for flying. Will we go back to our old ways once we can travel freely again? Will the industry invest in new technologies to make flying less environmentally damaging? Or will we have to change our flying expectations for good if we are to tackle climate change? Producer: Emma Campbell
