Problems with the empty aeroplanes

There are happening some problems with the airline companies because most of the times they do their travels without full the plane. In most of the cases they travel with a part of the plane empty, and even more in a situation of crisis like the current one. We have to look for a solution, because it's becoming very dramatic.




Because of the globalization, our society is getting used to travel by plane. For us, it's very normal to use this kind of transport and we see that as something normal, not like few decades ago. The demand of this transport everyday is bigger, and we don't think that this could create some problems. 

As the graphic tell us, every year there are 237 million empty seats on planes. That would be enough to save 522,026 planes without work. It's not a problem of  if the plane is full or not, it's because to fly with a plane requires kerosene, therefore it contaminates the air. The mainly problem, then, is not the waste of money that the airlines are doing, but the high level of pollution that is happening when it could be erased.

¿Which would be the solution? There's not a unique solution, but it's very simple to think about it. Maybe we could dispense with lot of flights that come from airports that don't have a notable number of passengers.
