France bans all flights between local destinations that have a 2.5 hour train alternative

France has passed the bill to ban short-haul flights through parliament where a train alternative of 2.5 hours or less exists. The ban was part of a 2020 agreement, mid-pandemic, to bail out the national carrier Air France, when passengers couldn’t fly and those who could travel started taking the train. In return for government money, the airline agreed to stop some short-haul routes to meet environmental targets.
This is a step in the right direction despite the fact that the law itself has been quite watered down. More here:

                  It's a good move but unfortunately private jets are not included. Looking forward to amendments later on.
