France has implemented a ban on domestic short-haul flights where rail alternatives exist in a bid to reduce carbon emissions.
The ban all but rules out air travel between Paris and cities such as Nantes, Lyon and Bordeaux, while connecting flights, according to the BBC, remain unaffected.
Laurent Donceel, interim head of Airlines for Europe (A4E), told the AFP news agency that banning these trips will only have "minimal" effects on the country’s CO2 output.
He urged governments to instead support "real and significant" solutions to address the climate issue.
