Next year I shall also endeavour not to fly. I sincerely hope that 2017 will be a year of many non-fliers; and I’m not the only one with these aspirations.

J'utiliserais une périphrase Refus de prendre l'avion ou de voyager en avion: Thunberg refuse de voyager en avion... Adepte parmi les plus notables du refus de prendre l'avion... J'espère que 2017 verra de nombreux voyageurs refuser de prendre l'avion, etc.
