Taking the Train Often More Expensive Than Flying in Europe


This article is published in collaboration with Statista

by Anna Fleck


A new report released by environmental group Greenpeace shows just how much cheaper air travel can be than taking the train in Europe, even for short journeys.

The following chart is based on an analysis of 112 travel itineraries in Europe. It shows that the price gap between rail and air travel is widest in the UK and Spain, where train tickets are on average 4 times more expensive than plane tickets. In France and Belgium, for the same domestic or European journey, train travel is on average 2.6 times more expensive than air travel. In the 16 countries studied, rail was on average 2 times more expensive. The only exception is Poland, where rail travel is on average half as expensive as air travel.

The tax advantages enjoyed by the airline industry in Europe (e.g. VAT exemption on kerosene) is one of the reasons why air travel remains relatively inexpensive compared with other modes of transport.
