Europas angeschlagene Airlines bekommen Konkurrenz durch Nachtzüge
December 10, 2020 -
Europa will das Angebot an Nachtzügen erweitern und die großen Städte am Kontinent miteinander verbinden. Das wird eine neue Gefahr für Fluglinien, die bereits jetzt unter sinkenden Passagierzahlen leiden.
Ministers from France, Germany, Austria and Switzerland unveiled a plan Tuesday to boost rail traffic between cities including Paris, Berlin, Vienna and Milan to curb rising carbon emissions. The Trans-Europe Express 2.0 initiative will be established in late 2021 and allow travellers to journey across multiple national borders without changing trains, a direct challenge to aviation, according to Bloomberg News.
The revival of Europe’s night-train network comes 25 years after the collapse of the original Trans-European Express that linked 130 cities across the continent.
