Increasing environmental awareness is putting a growing pressure on modern aviation. This is particularly reflected in calls for the introduction of a ban on short-haul flights that can be replaced by rail transport, which is currently considered in the European Union and some other Western European countries. The article aims at estimating the impact of the short-haul flights ban on air traffic at European airports. The analysis was performed for no-fly scenarios on routes where alternative rail travel takes no more than 3, 4, 5 or 6 h, respectively. The paper estimates the number of aircraft movements and air transport seats that would be affected by a potential ban on short-haul flights. Considering the impact on the environment, an estimation has been made to assess the extent to which the number of flight hours could be limited on all restricted routes. Performed analyses enabled the identification of flights which could be replaced by rail connections, broken down by countries and airports.
