The French government bailed out its airline industry to the tune of €7 billion ($7.9 billion) after the impacts of Covid-19, on the condition that it becomes more environmental conscious. This week, it demanded in return, that all airlines operating in France also ‘go green’ and dramatically reduce the number of short-haul flights if there is a rail or bus alternative.
French Environment Minister Elisabeth Borne said “we have asked Air France to accelerate its environmental transition” replacing up to 40% of flights where there is a rail link of under 2 or 2.5 hours.
