French lawmakers have moved towards a ban short-haul internal flights in a bid to reduce carbon emissions. The BBC has reported that French lawmakers voted in favour of a bill which would ban journeys where the same journey could be made by train in under two-and-a-half hours. Connecting flights would not be affected. The measures will be subject to a further vote in the Senate before becoming law and could affect travel between Paris and cities including Nantes, Lyon and Bordeaux. Climate convention had called for greater restrictions on flights The BBC reported that the French government had faced calls to introduce even stricter rules on domestic flights. France’s Citizens’ Convention on Climate was created by President Emmanuel Macron in 2019, the organisation, which includes 150 members of the public, had previously proposed scrapping plane journeys where train journeys of under four hours existed. The vote on Saturday came just days after the French government more than doubled its stake in Air France. The government had previously offered €7bn (£6bn) in loans to help the airline weather the pandemic. France’s economy minister said, at the time of the bailout, that the funding was dependent on the airline scrapping some of its domestic flights. Last year, Austrian Airlines replaced a flight route between the capital Vienna and the city of Salzburg with an increased train service, after receiving a government bailout with provisions to cut its carbon footprint.

Francuski zakonodavci odlučili su zabraniti letove na kratkim relacijama unutar zemlje tamo gdje postoje alternative vlakovima, a cilj je smanjiti emisije ugljika, prenio je BBC. Zastupnici su glasali za prijedlog zakona kojim se ukidaju one rute koje se mogu obaviti i vlakom i to za manje od dva i pol sata, a ova odluka neće utjecati na povezane letove. Izvorni prijedlog htio je zabraniti sve letove do regija do kojih se vlakom može putovati za manje od četiri sata. Međutim, neke regije i zrakoplovne tvrtke usprotivile su se ovom prijedlogu. Podsjetimo, aviokompanije diljem svijeta ozbiljno su pogođene pandemijom, pa nije čudno da im bilo kakve zabrane u poslovanju nisu prihvatljiva opcija. Opisana ograničenja tako bi mogla značajno izmijeniti putovanja između Pariza i ostalih gradova, poput Nantesa, Lyona i Bordeauxa, a o planiranim mjerama još će se jednom glasati u Senatu prije nego što postanu zakoni. Ovo nije prvi put da se uvode takve mjere s ciljem zaštite okoliša. Primjerice, prošle je godine Austrian Airlines zamijenio liniju leta između glavnog grada Beča i grada Salzburga pojačanom linijom vlakova, nakon što je kompanija dobila vladinu financijsku pomoć u koju je bila ugrađena odredba u smanjenju ugljičnog otiska.
