Cutting emissions is below punctuality in people's aviation priorities
That is compared with 56% who said the same for cutting emissions.
The figure for reducing emissions is up from 53% in 2024, but down from 70% in 2020.
Air traffic control (ATC) provider Nats commissioned the research.
The Government has a target for the UK aviation industry to reach net zero for carbon emissions by 2050.
There are concerns that green policies – such as using more sustainable aviation fuel – could lead to higher air fares.
Nats said it has worked closely with aviation partners over the past 12 months to enhance punctuality and resilience.
This includes using tools such as intelligent approach, which optimises the distances between arriving aircraft.
Nats said it was responsible for 1.2% of total delays to flights en route to Europe in June, despite handling nearly a quarter of air traffic.
Thousands of UK airline passengers have suffered delays because of industrial action by French ATC staff in recent months.
The survey indicated that 52% of UK adults had flown internationally in the previous 12 months, while 32% flew domestically.
Some 26% of respondents expected to fly more in the following year.
The poll also suggested there is growing acceptance of aviation innovation such as drones, flying taxis and AI-enabled services.
For example, 68% of respondents supported using AI to screen bags while 50% were in favour of it managing flight routing.
Simon Warr, Nats' communications director, said: 'The 2025 Aviation Index highlights the public's clear priorities: reliable service, greater environmental performance, and smart use of innovation.
'As the aviation industry continues to modernise, aligning with these expectations will be key to maintaining public trust and delivering the benefits aviation brings to society.'
– The survey of 1,217 UK adults was conducted online by research company Ipsos on April 9 and 10.

Inside the real-life town that Disneyland Paris built – with Italian-copycat homes and no rubbish on the streets
Plus, the Center Parcs village in the town that is undergoing an expansion PARK UP Inside the real-life town that Disneyland Paris built – with Italian-copycat homes and no rubbish on the streets Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) LOVE Disneyland Paris so much you could live there? That's not actually impossible… Because the much-loved European theme park has built its own town called Val D'Europe - which is only a six-minute drive from the theme park. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 8 The second half of Disneyland Paris' town is now being developed Credit: Disney 8 The town which is called Val d'Europe will eventually home up to 80,000 people Credit: Getty 8 There is lots to do in the town itself including two shopping centres Credit: Alamy Just like any normal town, there are thousands of homes, offices, restaurants, schools, supermarkets and even a hospital. Essentially, it has everything you'd ever need... just with a world-class theme park on the doorstep. It all started back in 1987, when Disney started to build Euro Disney, which is now known as Disneyland Paris. Working with the French Government, the park was sold the surrounding land and it soon began to build its own town for people to live in. Today, more than 50,000 people have set up home in the town, with houses selling from €250,000 (£215,521) to €465,000 (£400,869). Many of the houses and buildings town were inspired by both Regent's Park in London and Tuscany in Italy, according to The Times. Frank Hetherton, one of Disney's leading architects, admitted: "We did borrow from there. It's an authentic style." As the town rose from the ground, Disney had grand ambitions for it, like a job for every resident. They're big on cleanliness to, with visitors claiming they never see any Ideals rubbish or graffiti on the streets. And locals are overwhelmingly satisfied with the town, scoring 90 percent on happiness with their surroundings in previous surveys among residents. Disney Music Festival If you are a Disney mega fan, you definitely won't want to miss exploring the town as it is home to many Disney-themed locations. Elsewhere in Val d'Europe you can explore a large shopping centre with lots of French brands but household favourites too like H&M. Just nine-minutes walking from the shopping centre is one of the many hotels in the town - the Relais Spa Val d'Europe. Inside guests can enjoy a serene spa, with an indoor pool, hot tub, sauna and steam room, and stay costs from £135 per night. Or you could opt to stay at the Grand Magic Hotel, which is sat next to a park overlooking a pond. The fantasy-themed hotel even has it's own character named Monsieur Maurice who looks after all the hotel has to offer including flamboyant interiors, a Grand Hall and immersive animations. Back into the town, there is also La Vallée Village, which is home to different outlet stores offering designer items at discounted prices. The destination is owned by the same company as Bicester Village found in Oxford, UK and at La Vallée visitors will find similar brands, as well as more local designers. 8 The first half of the town has already been completed with shops, hotels and other amenities Credit: Disney 8 It also has some historic spots including Château de Chessy Credit: Alamy For a little history hunting, you can head to Château de Chessy, where you will find a pretty castle in the middle of an expansive park with a lake. And if you are looking or a bite to eat, you won't be short of options. You could head to the classic french spot, Le Diplomate Cafe and Bar, which has a range of cocktails, organic wine and champagne. Dishes include grilled aubergine and beef tartare. Alternatively, head to Wonderwoods Restauran, which features a fun interior that looks more like an enchanted woodland. The immersive restaurant features fairy creatures, mushrooms and woodland paths. You could experience snails or opt for a classic truffle pasta, or even treat yourself to afternoon tea. 8 The second half of the development will add 1,800 hotel rooms by 2040 Credit: Disney The entire town is split into six communes, each with different places, attractions and spots to eat worth exploring including multiple green spaces and bicycle paths. For those living there, it has been designed so that everything they could ever need is within a 10-15minute walk. And across the entire development there are no high rises, as it was designed to be a very liveable community that wasn't overdeveloped. That isn't the end either, as over the next 15 years Val d'Europe will double in size. By 2040, there will be even more shops, restaurant and 1,800 more hotel rooms. And by then, 80,000 people are expected to live there thanks to over 6,000 new homes, 1,880 new residences and more office spaces. Philippe Descrouet, mayor of Serris and president of Val d'Europe Agglomeration told Envie de Villes: "We are only halfway through the development of this new city. "The first part of the story, written over the past 35 years, has been a success. 8 Throughout Val d'Europe, there is a 'neo-traditional' design Credit: Disney "The second part will bring us to 100,000 inhabitants and the development of 350,000m² of office space as well as 300,000m² of additional activities." Nearby, Center Parcs' Villages Nature site is also undergoing development which is expected to be completed by 2037. Visitors will be able to enjoy 170 new holiday homes, making there a total of 1,100 at the site. Closer to 2037, there will also be 1,500 more places to stay in the park, leading to 3,000 in total by 2037. Eventually, the village will have new restaurants, shops and leisure activities too.

You could be missing out on key benefits unless you do one thing
Scots might not be aware of the benefits they are entitled to but a major banking service could change that Over a quarter of a million Scots are out of work due to long-term sickness or having a disability after a rise caused by the pandemic. The UK Government recently proposed tightening eligibility for disability and sickness benefits. This is in a bid to slow the rate of social security spending. In Scotland, from April 2024 to January 2025, 921,819 people received benefits from Social Security Scotland. But how do people know if they are entitled to benefits? Well, thousands of people have accessed a benefits calculator service provided by Nationwide Building Society in the first month of its launch. The service helps make people aware of the support they could be deserving of. More than 15,000 people have completed a "quick indicator", and more than 4,000 have completed the "full calculator," Nationwide said. The quick indicator gives people a "high level" overview of what they may be eligible for. If the quick indicator shows potential eligibility, people may proceed to the more detailed full calculator step. Kathryn Townsend, Nationwide head of customer vulnerability and accessibility, said: "By offering the choice of an online process and a telephone call, we are hopefully making what can be a daunting and confusing experience that little bit simpler." The 'better off' calculator has been launched in partnership with analytics company Policy in Practice. It is available to non-Nationwide members as well as the society's own customers. People can access the service through Nationwide's website, app, and a dedicated phone line. Calls to the helpline are charged at standard rate, however, a call-back option is available on request. Regular savings accounts typically require a set monthly deposit and limit withdrawals, making them perfect for disciplined savers looking to steadily increase their savings while earning higher interest than standard accounts. Nationwide's Flex Regular Saver can be opened with just £1, and interest is paid each year on the account's anniversary. Monthly deposits are capped at £200, allowing a maximum contribution of £2,400 over the year. At the current interest rate, this would earn £84.50 in interest after 12 months. The account is open to UK residents aged 16 or over who already have a Nationwide current account. And there is another free, confidential benefits calculator that could ease the financial pressure going into summer. Join the Daily Record WhatsApp community!
