TLDR
In this article, the authors presented updated values of aviation radiative forcing (RF) for 2005 based upon new operations data that show an increase in traffic of 22.5%, fuel use of 8.4% and total aviation RF of 14% over the period 2000-2005.About:

Douglas A. Spangenberg,Patrick Minnis,Sarah T. Bedka,Rabindra Palikonda,David P. Duda,Fred G. Rose +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors calculated the radiative forcing due to linear-shaped jet contrails over the Northern Hemisphere for four seasonal months using 2006 Aqua Moderate-resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer cloud and contrail property retrieval data in a radiative transfer model.

Tipping to Staying on the Ground: Internalized Knowledge of Climate Change Crucial for Transformed Air Travel Behavior
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors performed semi-structured interviews with Swedish residents, focusing primarily on individuals who have reduced flying because of its climate impact, and applied a framework of sustainability transformation to identify incentives and barriers in personal and political spheres.
Journal ArticleDOI
Transition policies for climatically sustainable aviation
TL;DR: In this article, the potential aviation emissions mitigation policies against the background of emerging complexities, such as the large share of radiative forcing not covered under any policy agreement, as well as highly skewed demand distributions.
