There are some excellent NGOs working to curb aviation growth and critique the industry. And the effect of airports on neighbouring communities is so detrimental - health damaging pollution, noise, destruction of wildlife habitats and high levels of road traffic - that groups all over the world are campaigning to minimise these impacts and prevent expansion. Listed below are just a few examples.
