Increasing carbon taxes (even on planes) is a political no-no for the foreseable future (yellow jacket PTSD.) We have a big plane industry, Airbus is _very_ actively working on EP (no idea if they will achieve anything, but, hey...) I doubt this law should affect them much - their target is probably to "fix" private jets and very short trips rather than intercities, anyway. I'm pretty sure that if they ever find a way to make fully electric flights between the _three_ routes that are canceled by this law, then the _three_ routes will re-open. The question now is whether this is opening the road to banning more routes (the CDG situation is _really_ absurd, and will probably be a political bargaining chip in the future), if other countries will copy the idea, if the overton window will shift to banning private jets, etc... Fairly symbolic at the moment, but if you believe in the "small steps actually taken vs ever-postponned revolution", that's a thing.
