The formation of a new coalition government in Spain portends big changes for the country's short-haul flights.

The coalition deal includes some 230 policy promises covering the next four years — including a pledge to limit short flights within the country.

The idea is similar to a program in France, and would scrap domestic flights where there is a rail alternative that takes less than two-and-a-half hours

It's official: France bans short haul domestic flights in favour of train travel

The European Commission (EC) has approved France’s plan to ban short-haul flights when there’s a decent rail alternative — but it will only affect three routes.

French lawmakers voted to prohibit short-haul domestic flights when there’s an alternative rail connection of 2.5 hours or less. The original proposal was slated to affect eight routes.

The EC now says the ban can only take place where genuine rail alternatives are available.
