Air transport: “Thinking of a world without aviation would not make sense”, says Christophe Béchu
On FranceInfo, the Minister responsible for the Ecological Transition took a stand against a limitation of air transport in the years to come. “This Paris Air Show will be totally focused on these climate issues“, noted Christophe Béchu. “Behaviors have already changed […]but besides that, the needs and the tendency to want to travel will lead to an increase, despite everything, in traffic“, he nuanced. “To say to oneself that tomorrow there will be no planes, not only does this not correspond to reality, but it is even more important for us, French and Europeans, who produce half of the planes on the planet, have a decarbonization strategy“, explained the member of the government. “To think of a world without aviation would not make sense“, affirmed Christophe Béchu, adding however that the sector could not remain in a “the state in which“. Of the “profound changesare therefore necessary.
At the same time, the European commissioner for the internal market, Thierry Breton, spoke out against “the absurdity of quotas». «For the airline industry, there are already plans for totally zero-carbon aircraft […]. I hear people saying that we could halve the number. […] That’s not the logic we’re in at all“, he hammered. The European Union favors a “transitionof the sector, with, for example,much more efficient engines” or some “cleaner fuels». «All the sector is on the way. Above all, we are not talking about the absurdity of quotas. We believe in technology, we believe in scienceconcluded the European Commissioner.
