I did Rennes-Toulouse multiple times (it was actually the example I was going to give in this thread). It's 10 hours by train, 2 hours by plane. So as long as there are no direct trains, if flying was to be banned, there would be no short way to do Rennes-Toulouse anymore.



Interior flights will be banned only in case of a train alternative inferior to 2.30h.

According to the article, the law is banning routes that have a fast train alternative so I'd imagine that's fine.
