T<\/span>he UK trade union PCS and the global network Stay Grounded published together a\u00a0paper entitled \u201cA Rapid and Just Transition of Aviation \u2013 Shifting towards Climate-Just Mobility\u201d<\/a>. Tahir Latif, PCS Aviation Group President, says:\u00a0\u201cThis paper clearly shows: the aviation workforce needs to accommodate the urgent requirement for a reduction in flying. This is imperative to avoid climate catastrophe. We need to retain job security through retraining and redeployment into jobs, some within aviation and some in other sectors, that help to restore the planet, not destroy it.\u201d<\/p>\n

This Paper makes it clear that there is no option to go back to business as before Covid-19: instead of bailing out airlines, airports and manufacturers, recovery packages must directly finance a just transition. This includes providing a living wage and social protection for workers leaving the industry, retraining programmes, creating jobs in climate-safe sectors and fostering alternatives to flights and harmful mass tourism.<\/p>\n

\u201cPublic money must save people, not planes\u201d, says Magdalena Heuwieser, from Stay Grounded. \u201cIf we try to go back to the old high-speed fossil-fuelled transport system, it will crash very soon. Let\u2019s be realistic: aviation will change, and it will do so either by design or by disaster.\u00a0So let\u2019s choose design.\u201d<\/p>\n

The discussion paper has a global scope and is the result of a collective writing process by people active in the climate justice movement, trade unionists, indigenous communities and academics from around the world. Several aviation workers who were involved also advocate for a just transition and less flying, like ex-pilot Paul Taylor:\u00a0\u201cI was made redundant from my airline due to Covid-19 \u2013 and I won\u2019t go back to flying. I realised it\u2019s neither healthy for me, nor for the planet.\u201d<\/p>\n
