France is banning short domestic flights

The ban is likely to take effect in 2023. Initially, it will affect only 3 routes, between Paris Orly and Lyon, Bordeaux and Nantes. France’s citizens’ assembly on climate issues first proposed the law in 2021 but a number of airports contested it. Now the European Commission has declared the proposed ban to be legal. #france #flights #ban #citizens #europeancommission #eu #emissions #environment
