If there has to be demand constraint, we will then bring
in the analysis I mentioned earlier of where are these flights, and one of the questions we will ask is, «How many of the flights which occur are of sufficiently
short distances either because they are domestic or they are London to the south of France, London to the skiing resorts, et cetera», that there is a believable story that they do not have to be flights, they can be high - speed rail, or are quite a lot of them things where, realistically, it is never going to be
competed by high - speed rail and, therefore, you actually have to say that we have got to constrain demand
in an absolute sense and people just will not be able to make as many journeys as they would want to
in an unconstrained fashion.
