From The Editor's Desk
April 2010 was an eventful month in the Aviation History.
The second
eruption of Eyjafjallajokull Volcano in Iceland on the 14th of April
caused severe air travel disruptions in Europe particularly, and world
at large. It was the biggest ever air travel disruption since the second
world war wherein many countries in Europe closed their controlled
airspace to IFR Traffic fearing damage to aircraft engine due to
floating ash in the air. About 95000 flights got cancelled by 21st April
2010.Marooned passengers bore the brunt being stranded in airports and
caught off balance by this sudden on turn.
Things have
improved now and aviation is on its way to normal flight. For a few days
the problem held all of us its captive with irate passengers,
continuously jammed phone lines, web site access patchy and increasing
confusion.
But all this
and more with plane free skies over Europe for a few days in April have
allowed us to understand and unravel the effects of aircraft emissions
and air travel over Europe vis-ŕ-vis issues of global warming and
climate changes. The climate effects of Jet fuel burned at high altitude
are poorly understood, since Scientists cannot often compare plane free
skies with days when many regions are criss-crossed by vapour trails. So
now Scientists have an opportunity to compare temperature records,
satellite images and other data from days when flights were grounded by
volcanic ash-trying to isolate any effect of a lack of planes.
Many studies
estimate that aviation, the fastest growing transport sector, accounts
for 2-3 percent of global warming from human activities which is a cause
of concern. Global warming brings heat waves, can lead to species
extinction and is already causing rising sea levels and climatic changes
all over the globe.
It is high time
all of us world over get together and formulate policies and strictly
implement them if we want to save our Earth and future generations. So
let us…for our and every body else's sake. The time has come for each of
us to do our lil bit.
