Rerouting flights could curb environmental impact vapour trails

Blue and Green: A team of scientists have proposed extending flight routes to bypass contrail areas and as a result reduce the significant impact contrails have on the ozone layer. Extending the flight time, however, does raise further issues around increasing the amount of CO2 being emitted during the flight. The report argues contrails have a greater effect on climate change than direct plane engine emissions as they produce artificial clouds. The clouds, once formed, can trap heat in, which would otherwise...

Yale Environment 360: Flight paths that avoid forming contrails Rerouting the flight paths of commercial aircraft to minimize the condensation trails, or contrails, they leave behind would help slow global warming, even if the new flight path is longer, according to research published today. Contrails, thin clouds composed of ice crystals condensed from an aircraft's exhaust, can persist for 17 hours or more and are likely the single largest contributor to climate change associated with aviation. They form when a plane...
