Question 3401 — air transport

Summary

Mr. Christophe Barthès alerts the Minister to the Minister of Regional Planning and Decentralization, responsible for transport, of the need to preserve regional airports. They play an essential role in regional planning, in the attractiveness of departments and particularly in rural areas. The desire to significantly increase the proceeds of the solidarity tax on plane tickets (TSBA) is an aberration which, if it is implemented, will have serious consequences on the economy and will lead to a significant loss of competitiveness. Low-cost airlines will withdraw from a large number of regional airports, which will lead to their closure, as is the case in Carcassonne with Ryan Air. Closures of small airports would lead to the loss of many jobs and isolate territories that are already too often forgotten. We must help the small airports, which are so essential, and not handicap them further. We must open new lines and not close them again and again. How can we explain that in Carcassonne there is still no line to Paris, even though the medieval city is one of the most visited monuments in the country? We must also prevent the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGAC) from withdrawing from the management of certain control towers in France, as was announced in Carcassonne. The airport in this town alone generates 85 million euros each year, which is vital for a rural department like Aude. He asks him what he plans to do to support small French airports like Carcassonne.
