The French Minister of Transport has taken the initiative to stop selling cheap air tickets for 10 euros.
The offer is valid not only for national air carriers, but also for the entire eurozone. The official links the changes to the ecological transition.
The French Minister of Transport proposed to stop selling air tickets at low prices under the pretext of protecting the environment, foreign media write with reference to the publication L’Obs.
What does France want?
The head of the French Ministry of Transport, Clement, under the pretext of protecting the environment, wants to declare a fight against cheap air travel.
According to the official, flying for 10 euros while causing irreparable damage to the environment is simply unacceptable.
Clément believes it is fair for polluting industries to be taxed accordingly, which will allow the government to invest in the environment.
The French government, according to the draft budget, intends to introduce additional taxes not only on aviation, but also on road transport in 2024.
France plans to use the proceeds for the development of railway transport, which does not generate many emissions leading to the greenhouse effect.
