Closed Legislate to restrict aircraft from running their engines while on hold

Closed on

We ask the Govt to urgently bring forward legislation restricting aircraft from being on hold on a taxiway with their engines running. They should also be pulled using electric trucks to minimise pollution and noise to the immediate area.

Having planes on hold with their engines running leads to increased emissions and affects neighbouring areas.

Planes are emit far more pollution than any other forms of transport, and allowing aircraft to run their engines while on hold enables further emissions unnecessarily.
