The Federal Aviation Commission predicts air travel will double by 2032, with passenger travel increasing from 814 billion miles to 1.57 trillion miles and cargo travel increasing from 37 billion miles to nearly 102 billion miles. International distances flown are expected to increase by 4.4% annually. Environmentalists discourage air travel due to high carbon emissions.
The U.S. Federal Aviation Commission projects that air travel will double between 2011 and 2032. During this period, analysts predict that the distance traveled by paying passengers will increase from 814 billion miles (1.31 trillion km) in 2011 to 1.57 trillion miles (2.53 trillion km) in 2032. Analysts predict that cargo flight distances will increase even more, from 37 billion miles (59.5 billion km) in 2011 to nearly 102 billion miles (164.2 billion km). km) in 2032.

The number of general aviation aircraft is projected to increase by almost 14% between 2011 and 2032.
The most significant change in air travel will affect the international distances flown. These are expected to increase, on average, by 4.4% each year until 2032.
Some environmentalists discourage air travel due to carbon emissions from airplanes. Research shows that people in Europe flying to London, Brussels and Paris generate 10 times more emissions than those using the Eurostar train system.
