I am wondering if you see any possibility to avoid work related air travel as well? I understand that certain jobs require flying but I also see, at least at my own company, that a lot of those flights are not really necessary and could easily be avoided. Would you mind to elaborate?

There are some ways to reduce air travel imho (and probably other ways to do so).

* Video conferencing

* Car/train/bus transportation if the hours used is acceptable. A good way to do this is a "night train" with a sleeping compartment.

* The big one: electric planes.

However it is a though one. Sometimes you just have to travel far to meet someone face to face and unfortunately the only way to achieve this in a reasonable way today is by hydrocarbon burning air travel.
