Instead of disrupting the country and bringing traffic to a halt, therefore creating additional pollution by lengthening journey times, here is one suggestion that you could focus on to reduce air pollution.
Why not go and blockade Ryanair & Michael O'Leary's office. He has stated recently that Ryanair are the greenest airline. Bollocks to green, he'd be interested in the cost savings from a reduction in fuel costs.
Where I live I am on the flight paths into and out of Leeds/Bradford, Manchester, Liverpool and as I found out this morning, Doncaster/Sheffield airports.
Why would a flight from DSA need to fly south and then North-West when flying to Faro?
There are many more examples of wasted mileage when looking at flight-paths, but this one seems exceptional.
I appreciate that planes need to be planned to fly from airport to airport, but why does this flight need to go around Manchester?
I can't see any reason for it not being able to fly south over EMA & BHX, unless it is because it flies over Lord & Lady Snob's mansion.
BHX to FAO doesn't need to go west before flying south,
But that's just one flight I hear you say.
Economies of scale?
