It’s a very touching statement but the number of flights even with a pandemic returned to the 2015 levels contradicts your thesis. [1] - https://www.statista.c

  Yes, of course they did. But this isn't the long term just yet and when fuel prices here were quite a bit higher a few months ago the effects on mobility were very noticeable. So I take that as a harbinger of what's to come, and in we don't actually know how high those levels would be if COVID had not happened and I suspect quite a bit higher than they are today. Videoconferencing has replaced in person meetings for us in all but the rarest cases.

    I acknowledge that the jet industry it’s quite sensible to the fuel prices, but from that point jump that the industry its going to an end sound quite far fetched. Unless that you live in China or Europe that has a good train network, I think the unintended consequence will be more people in cars and more accidents.

      Cars aren't more efficient per passenger mile/km and I don't think cars will replace airplanes. I just think that long distance travel in general will end up to have been a temporary aberration, unless you have a lot of time and money.
