“Is it radical to force an ultra-rich to take the plane (commercial, editor’s note) or to take the train, because in fact that’s it, if we ban private jet flights” , wondered Julien Bayou during a conference held in front of the tarmac of Nice airport, the second French platform for business aviation behind Paris-Le Bourget.
“Paris-Lille, Paris-London or Paris-Brussels can very well be done by train, in first class, very comfortably, and failing that by (commercial) plane”, estimated the deputy from Paris.
“A Paris-Nice round trip by plane is the consumption of a car over a year”, pointed out the elected ecologist, who came by train to the Côte d’Azur.

Presented by around twenty deputies including Delphine Batho and Sandrine Rousseau, this bill aimed at “banning private jet flights” to promote ecological transition will be presented on April 6 during the day reserved for environmentalists at the Assembly.
