(UKG) END GHOST FLIGHTS

PLEASE CLICK HERE TO SIGN PETITION BEFORE 14/07/2022

A “ghost flight” occurs when airlines continue to fly routes despite having no passengers on board.

The reason ghost flights exist is so that they can keep their slots at airports. This is a rule that is enforced by the European Commission and the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) in the United States, known as the “use it or lose it” rule.

Greenpeace estimated that around 100,000 European ghost flights took off over the past winter. These ghost flights will cause the generation of roughly 2.1 million tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions, which is equivalent to the emissions of more than 1.4 million cars per year.

Question:- why isn't the retention of slots based upon the percentage of seats filled per flight?
