The number of people flying in Sweden dropped by 4 per cent last year, suggesting that the home-grown “flight shame” movement is starting to have an impact.

Official statistics from Sweden’s airport operator, Swedavia, show that more than 40 million people flew through the country’s 10 airports in 2019, a 4 per cent drop year on year.


In 2018, a record high of more than 42 million people flew through Swedish airports.


The decrease in 2019 was primarily in domestic travel, said Swedavia, and international travel decreased to a lesser extent.



In 2019, 12.4 million domestic passengers flew through Sweden, a 9 per cent year on year drop.

"The Swedish concept of flygskam, which translates as “flight shame”, is an anti-flying movement that originated in Sweden in 2018. It encourages people to stop taking flights to lower carbon emissions."
Is ‘flight shame’ behind drop in Sweden plane journeys?

You Lefty's are an ignoramt bunch
 
I guess these idiots don't realize that the planes still fly even if they're not full...
 
I haven't flown commercial since 1991, nor would I. Nothing to do with carbon emissions.

Commercial air travel has turned to pure shit. Anymore I'd rather go to the dentist than climb on another airliner for a commercial flight. I wish I still flew private but I gave that up when it quit being free so these days I'd just rather drive than fly.
