France has been given the green light to ban short-haul domestic flights.
Specifically, between locations where there is a train alternative that takes less than 2.5 hours.
Initially, the measure will affect routes between Paris Orly airport and Nantes, Lyon, and Bordeaux.
It will be valid for three years and then itll be reassessed by the Commission.
Frances flight ban is a significant step for Europe.
A number of projects that are underway indicate that things are going to the right direction.
