Governments keep supporting flying with unfair tax breaks and subsidies, despite the fact that it causes up to 80 times more climate damage than taking the train.

Air traffic is returning to pre-pandemic levels, while railway stations are being closed down due to a lack of demand.

Why do people overwhelmingly choose planes over train journeys?
