This article covers the following issues:
- the frequency and purpose of air travel and anticipated changes to levels of air travel in the future;
- how people travel to airports
- how air passengers rate their experiences at airports;
- public attitudes towards air travel, particularly in relation to airport expansion and the environmental consequences of air travel;
- expressed willingness to pay more for air travel to reflect environmental harms;
