M. Thierry Frappé attire l'attention de M. le ministre de l'aménagement du territoire et de la décentralisation sur la concurrence fiscale et tarifaire exercée par le transport aérien, souvent moins cher pour de nombreux Français malgré son empreinte carbone beaucoup plus élevée. Selon une étude de Greenpeace portant sur 112 liaisons européennes, un voyage en train coûte en moyenne 2,6 fois plus qu'en avion. Cette différence tarifaire devient particulièrement criante lorsque le trajet nécessite une correspondance ferroviaire ou qu'il s'agit d'une liaison transversale. Dans certains cas, le billet d'avion est inférieur de 10 à 50 % au prix du train, ce qui pousse de nombreux usagers à délaisser le rail, pourtant plus respectueux de l’environnement. Par ailleurs, des pratiques de vente anormales persistent, avec davantage de billets mis en vente que de places disponibles dans les rames, entraînant une sur-occupation des couloirs et des espaces entre les wagons, condition de voyage inacceptable et dangereuse en cas d'incident. M. le député souhaite connaître les mesures envisagées par le Gouvernement pour rééquilibrer la concurrence entre le rail et l'aérien, notamment par une révision de la fiscalité du kérosène et la suppression des avantages fiscaux dont bénéficie le transport aérien, ainsi que pour encadrer et plafonner le coût des billets de train sur l'ensemble du territoire. Il l'interroge également sur les dispositifs prévus pour interdire la vente de billets au-delà de la capacité des rames et garantir la sécurité et le confort des voyageurs.
United States · United States Congress · 19 August 2025
Safe Air on Airplanes Act This bill directs the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to update regulations to phase out and prohibit bleed air systems in certain types of aircraft. In general, a bleed air system uses compressed air that is taken from an aircraft engine that is upstream of the combustion chamber and provides pressurized air for the aircraft’s environmental control system (e.g., ventilation). Under the bill, the FAA must prohibit new turbine and turboprop aircraft designs from using bleed air systems, require (beginning seven years after the bill’s enactment) that any bleed air system in a newly manufactured aircraft is fitted with a filter (i.e., a device that removes gaseous and particulate components of oil fumes), and provide for a phaseout (over a 30-year period) of the use of bleed air systems in existing turbine and turboprop aircraft designs.
