Stop poorer people flying<\/a>&nbsp;\u2013 Minimum prices for air tickets, proposed by France, will hurt the less well off without doing anything to reduce the number of flights<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Excerpts: By John Arlidge: I was living in Edinburgh when I first saw an advertisement that would transform air travel. \u201cMaking flying as affordable as a pair of jeans \u2013 \u00a329 one-way.\u201d The fare for EasyJet\u2019s first flights from Luton to Edinburgh and Glasgow in 1995, celebrated in its inaugural advertisement campaign, seems rather pricey by modern standards. You can get a ticket on that route on EasyJet for less than \u00a329 today and fares on some other low-cost carriers can be under a tenner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But cheap deals might be a thing of the past. France is seeking support from other European Union countries for a minimum price for airfares within the EU in a bid to reduce the number of flights in Europe and reduce the aviation sector\u2019s CO2 emissions. Transport Minister Clement Beaune wants to \u201copen the debate on the fair social and environmental price of a flight ticket\u201d. The Netherlands and Belgium support the idea in principle. Although Brexit means flights from Britain to EU countries might not be covered by any new EU price policies, flights from the bloc to the UK would be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">France has already banned domestic flights for journeys that are possible in less than two-and-a-half hours by train. The Dutch government is going ahead with plans to cap the number of flights at Amsterdam\u2019s Schiphol Airport next year, pending EU approval, in a bid to reduce noise pollution and greenhouse gas emissions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The good news for consumers is that EU complexities mean the French minimum pricing proposal is unlikely to become law. Two years ago Austria proposed a similar measure, but legal issues around the rights of companies freely to set their own prices across the EU meant the government abandoned it. EU leaders often find it hard to reach agreement on aviation matters. Talks on aviation fuel taxes have run into the sand, with some governments opposed to passing measures that could raise prices for voters ahead of EU elections next year. With a bit of luck, Paris\u2019s half-cooked idea will also fail and EU governments will, instead, begin to put new technology, not higher fares, at the top of their environmental to-do list.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">#<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">#<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"723\" height=\"560\" data-attachment-id=\"280214\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/climatescience.press\/?attachment_id=280214\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/climatescience.press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/image-733.png?fit=1478%2C1144&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1478,1144\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"image-733\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/climatescience.press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/image-733.png?fit=723%2C560&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/climatescience.press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/image-733.png?resize=723%2C560&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-280214\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/climatescience.press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/image-733.png?resize=1024%2C793&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/climatescience.press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/image-733.png?resize=300%2C232&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/climatescience.press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/image-733.png?resize=768%2C594&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/climatescience.press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/image-733.png?resize=1200%2C929&amp;ssl=1 1200w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/climatescience.press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/image-733.png?w=1478&amp;ssl=1 1478w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 723px) 100vw, 723px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.telegraph.co.uk\/travel\/destinations\/europe\/france\/french-plan-to-save-the-planet-stop-poorer-people-flying\/\">UK Telegraph: The French plan to save the planet?
