Aware of the potential impact on air transport of the flygskam\" movement<\/a> - Swedish term for the 'shame of flying', also known as 'flight shaming', airlines are committing to reducing their carbon footprint. In an interview with Parisian<\/em>Anne Rigail, Chief Executive Officer of Air France, has announced that the carrier will offset 100 % of CO2 emissions<\/strong> of its 450 daily domestic flights from 1 January 2020. This compensation will be provided through the financing of various \"projects to plant trees, protect forests or safeguard biodiversity<\/em>\".<\/p>\n

The company is also announcing that business customers<\/strong> will also be able to voluntarily offset up to 100 % from their short, medium and long-haul flights thanks to a dedicated offer. Air France is also taking other sustainable initiatives, such as selective sorting and recycling of waste from 1 October. The airline has also decided to eliminate the use of single-use plastics on board its aircraft (cups, cutlery, stirrers) from the end of 2019, representing a reduction of 1,300 tonnes of plastic per year.<\/p>\n

In addition, Air France has set itself a new target for 2030: to reduce its CO2 emissions per passenger\/km by 50 % compared with 2005, i.e. fuel consumption per passenger per 100km. less than 3 litres<\/strong>. The replacement of 50 % of the fleet with new-generation aircraft that consume 20 % to 25 % less fuel will help to limit the impact of flights on the environment. With regard to the ecotax that the government will introduce next year on flights departing from France, which will represent \u20ac60 million for Air France, Anne Rigail believes in her interview with Le Parisien that it is \"... a good thing for Air France...\".nonsense<\/strong><\/em>\". \"We are not against the ecotax, but we are against its use. It would be virtuous if it could be used to fund research or create a biofuel industry.<\/em>\"She went on to say that the company would not pass this on to its customers. \"They wouldn't accept it,\" she points out. On a Paris-Nice journey costing 93 euros, you already have 53 % in taxes.<\/em>\"<\/p>\n

The \"flygskam\" movement, launched last year in Sweden, has in the space of a few months taken on a new dimension. on an unsuspected scale<\/strong>This has led to a collapse in air traffic on Swedish domestic routes and regional routes from Sweden to Norway and Denmark. Swedavia, the Swedish airport authority, reported a fall in passenger traffic of 4.4 % for the first six months of 2019, including 8 % on domestic routes. Traffic at Stockholm-Arlanda, the country's largest airport, is down by 5 %, while the Stockholm-Copenhagen route is down by 8.6% since the start of the year. An alarming situation for the CEO of SAS Scandinavian Airlines, who is urging airlines to redouble our efforts<\/strong> in the fight against pollution before governments take even more coercive measures.<\/p>\n

The movement has spread beyond Sweden. It has also spread to the Netherlands, where there has been a sharp increase in the number of passengers on the railway lines<\/strong> since the beginning of the year. In this context, KLM recently announced the elimination of one daily rotation from next March<\/a> between Brussels Zaventem and Amsterdam Schiphol airports, replaced by 25,600 seats on Thalys TGVs, prior to the gradual limitation of services between the two cities. This initiative was also prompted by a motion tabled in the Dutch parliament in March concerning the abolition of these flights. In Germany, Green MEPs want to eliminate domestic flights altogether by 2035 if adequate rail services are available. In Austria, the CEO of Austrian Airlines said at the beginning of August that he was very seriously considering eliminating domestic flights. stopping service on domestic routes<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In France too, the subject has been in the spotlight<\/strong> during the debates on the Mobility Act, with the government rejecting a proposal by some MPs to ban domestic flights when trains could offer an alternative. While the Air France CEO points out that the company does not have enough hindsight to quantify the effect of the \"flygskam\" movement on the airline's traffic, she refers, through her personal experience, to the growing awareness of public opinion on this subject. \"I have two teenagers at home and I can tell you that the discussions are quite heated<\/strong> on the commitments that our generation must make to ensure that our children and grandchildren can continue to travel with sustainable air transport in the long term<\/em>\"she says in her interview with Le Parisien.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
