In Spain presents study on the environmental efficiency of restricting domestic flights in favor of rail transport

12-12-23

The Official College of Aeronautical Engineers (Coiae) has prepared a report analyzing the environmental efficiency of restricting domestic flights in favor of rail transport in Spain.

This report will be presented next Monday, December 11 at the III Climate Summit in the sector, where more than 20 experts and heads of companies, universities and institutions will discuss the main challenges facing the aeronautical sector to guide air transport towards environmental efficiency.

Thus, the dean of the Coiae, José Manuel Hesse, will present at the opening of the conference the report Short Flights 2022, with updated data of the flights made in 2022.

The aim of this report is to analyze the possible environmental efficiency of restrictive measures to domestic flights in favor of high-speed rail transport in Spain. It studies air journeys with rail alternatives of less than three and four hours.

The Climate Summit conference is organized by the Coiae with the collaboration of the Airline Association (ALA) and the School of Aeronautical and Space Engineering (ETSIAE) of the UPM. It will consist of four round tables.
