I’m going to presume CNN is reading my blog.

“Replacing short-haul flights with trains frees up landing and departure slots at busy airports that can be used for more lucrative long-haul services. They also make the airline look greener, even if there's no long-run difference to its carbon footprint”.

Well, it would be worse, actually.

More crazy talk:

“KLM makes no secret of the business sense behind cutting short haul Amsterdam-Brussels flights, but insists the move will help long-term sustainability and a "fly responsibly" campaign that advises passengers to pack light and offset the carbon emissions of their travel”.

What a load of hogwash dipped in poo.

And wait, there’s more!

“By eliminating one in five of its Amsterdam-Brussels flights departing Schiphol Airport, KLM will play a part in the Dutch air transport sector's overall mission to reduce C02 emissions by 35% by 2030, she adds”.

This only works if they don’t replace that flight with a long-haul flight. Which they will do when they think no-one is looking.

But lots of people are looking.
