Overall greenhouse gases also fell as a result of air travel being ground to a halt during the pandemic.
The aviation industry is responsible for 2% of all human-induced CO2 emissions, according to the Air Transport Action Group.
But while reducing unnecessary air travel will make a difference, climate campaign group Possible claims that a small minority of frequent flyers are the ones causing the real damage.
They say 70% of all flights in the UK are taken up by the same 15% of people, with the vast majority on higher incomes.
As a result, they want a frequent flyer levy introduced to deter people who can afford to fly more often from doing so.
Professor Collins explains that while you can electrify cars, you can't do the same with planes. So the only way to reduce emissions from air travel is to fly less often.
