Airports are worthless without planes – that’s pretty clear. Nevertheless, the boss of a large airport group has now demanded that the means of transport should be used with care.
“We must demand sensible use of the aircraft,” said Augustin de Romanet to the TV station France Info. He is head of the Paris airport company Aéroports de Paris.
And for those who thought maybe it wasn’t meant that way, the manager added: “Just because we’re in a profession that’s essentially airport hospitality combined with air transport development means that not that we necessarily aim for a comprehensive development of air travel.”
He doesn’t want to be pedantic. But: It is the responsibility of those “who can decide to take the train instead of the plane to make this choice”. It is also up to them to “possibly forego this or that trip that would be unnecessary”. This also applies to employees in the aviation industry.
Of course, the aviation industry is not solely responsible for climate change. But he does his part. The industry must strive for what the automotive industry is already achieving.
Aéroports de Paris operates more than 20 airports around the world, in addition to the Paris airports Paris-Charles de Gaulle, Orly and Le Bourget, for example, also Liège, Delhi or Amman. According to de Romanet, his company is doing its part.
Long-term supply contracts have secured a sustainable power supply for the next 20 years. In addition, investments have also been made in renewable energies, such as a solar power plant.
