The French Government has banned short-haul internal flights when rail alternatives could cover the journey in 2h30 or less.


The bill, which was voted in the French Parliament on 10 April, will only apply to a handful of routes, such as those between Paris and Nantes, and Lyon and Bordeaux. Connecting flights are excluded.
