{wiki=Short-haul_flight_ban}
A **short-haul flight ban** refers to regulatory measures implemented by governments or organizations to prohibit or restrict certain short-distance flights, typically those covering less than a certain distance, often around 500 kilometers (approximately 310 miles). These bans are usually put in place as part of efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, combat climate change, and encourage the use of more sustainable modes of transportation, such as trains or other forms of public transit.
