Opinion: We need a responsible attitude to flying, not another Heathrow runway This is a brave article by someone from within the industry [Tim Williamson of Responsible Travel]. Degrowth of the aviation industry is absolutely necessary to get a grip on climate change. Aviation causes 5% of annual contribution to climate change and, whether for leisure or business, it is largely a non-essential luxury.
LARRY EDWARDS
Carbon emissions by aviation contribute some 2%-4% of global CO2, so it is puzzling that such excitement is made about this sector. No one talks about reducing steel or car production for the sake of the planet, yet the collective output of CO2 from heavy industry is many times that of aviation.

Flying’s carbon dioxide output divides opinion
Ryanair staff disputes ‘are inevitable’
Story: Ryanair set for talks with trade union as strike date looms Have you ever heard of the Tolpuddle Martyrs? Withdrawal of labour is a fundamental human right. The duty of enlightened employers is to keep their workers happy, well-paid and respected. If Ryanair treats its workers with the same attitude it has towards its customers, disputes are inevitable.

LETTER OF THE
WEEK
TALK BACK WHAT YOU’RE SAYING THIS WEEK
EDITORIAL@ TRAVEL WEEKLY.

P&O plan will give it a balanced fleet
Talk Back (July 12): P&O is losing what made it unique We value the loyalty of our regular guests immensely. It is this loyalty, balanced with the commercial needs of the business, that was also instrumental in the decision to invest in the rest of the fleet while losing Oriana. P&O Cruises is looking to expand and introduce additions to its ship and shore
guest experience across the fleet from summer 2019. The programme will cover three key areas – excursions, dining and entertainment – across mid-sized ships Arcadia and Aurora and Oceana as well as the larger ships Britannia, Azura and Ventura. A refit of Aurora will also see it return as a ship exclusively for adults. With the introduction of Iona in 2020, followed by a similar ship two years later, it is vital that we continue to elevate the standards of the rest of the fleet. We appreciate that different guests have different likes.
We feel that having two ships exclusively for adults, Oceana (pictured) as a fly-cruise ship, and the other larger ships will give us a balanced fleet which will fulfil all holiday needs and tastes. MICHELE ANDJEL
PR director, P&O Cruises/Carnival UK
