Flights within Germany where never popular. People would rather use the car, because it’s mostly cheaper and must of the time faster and more reliable than the train.
Sadly, cars use about as much fuel per person-kilometer as commercial flights. (I am not sure about the relative cost for take-off at short distances).
Trains are the real alternative - followed by buses (which are on long distance surprisingly efficient).
Oh, and we need more electric trolley buses in cities…
Imagine all flights being grounded due to lack of fuel and trains suddenly becoming important. Germany is going to be so fucked…
The upside will be that people will spend money in the local economy instead of flying abroad and spending money there.
