Some American Carriers have a lot shorter routes flying a lot more often [1]. Frankfurt <-> Strasbourg (220km) San Francisco <-> San Salito [2] (90km) The point of these are connections.

Blame the MEP paying for these flights with your tax money and being bad role models contradicting the policies they are voting for.
