"Spain is banning some short-haul domestic flights as part of its plan to
reduce carbon emissions.
Flights with a rail alternative that takes less than two and a half hours will
no longer be allowed, “except in cases of connection with hub airports that
link with international routes”.
The restriction is part of an agreement made in Congress by Spain’s coalition
government. The country has been considering a ban since 2021 as part of its
2050 climate action plan.
It comes after the French government officially banned domestic flights for
journeys that can be made in less than two and a half hours by train in May
2023.
The text agreed by the two political parties - PSOE and Sumar - also seeks to
analyse the potential impact of restricting private jet use and a European
Union directive on taxing energy products, including kerosene which is used as
an aviation fuel."
