  1. Alternative here is not defined as:

    Cheaper

    Faster

    More comfortable

  2. I call BS on this unless private jet flights are also included.

  3. Meanwhile, Pedro Sanchez and the leaders who govern the country and approve this measure made use of the fleet that provides the air forces a total of 1513 times in 2023, many of them with the aim of moving to political rallies that have nothing to do with the tasks of a president of the government.

    We are on our way to a world where only rich and servile politicians enjoy the comforts while the common people beg for a little welfare and are blamed for it.

  4. I wish we had train as an alternative to travel out of Finland and back. As of now, no…

  5. 2.5 hours. You have to laugh. Just short for the Barcelona-Madrid AVE. So this is only Madrid radius 2.5 hours and Barcelona-Zaragoza, which I don’t think it exists anymore. This is more to look good than anything. No real impact for anyone.

  6. Honestly, might be good for tourism as well, if airport slots open for international flights more options will be available 

  7. Wonderful!

    Good job Spain!

    I see that you have not built those hig speed rail lines for nothing.

    And it’s quite nice that Spain seems to do a lot of nice thing for the environment lately.

    Maybe because it’s one of the first European countries most affected by the climate changes and global warming.

    I wish though others would just not wait till it hits them too to make the changes!
