Forgive me, but your comment drops below any reasonable threshold of HN guidelines and I am forced to use strong language like “absurd” and “clownish” to describe what you’re asserting … The overriding market distortion, which trumps every other variable here, is the zero value given to any environmental externalities coming from air travel. In addition, both CH and FR have massive governmental subsidies for their national carriers and the operation of their airports. Which is to say: you’re swimming in free market distortions so deeply you’ll never come up for air … and you’re decrying this one ? Seriously: grow up.
