France Bans Select Domestic Flights to Curb Emissions
- France has banned domestic short-haul flights where train travel is possible and takes under 2.5 hours.
- The ban only impacts three routes between Paris and major cities like Bordeaux, Nantes, and Lyon.
- The ban is aimed at cutting greenhouse gas emissions from aviation and promoting rail travel.
- Critics argue the ban is largely symbolic and will have a negligible impact on emissions.
- The ban could set a precedent for other countries looking to curb short-haul flights.
