Tunisia, Greece, Spanish fiestas, plastic planes: Where readers write back

Plastic planes – the future?

Using these airliners will eliminate the need for super expensive high speed rail lines, since planes use the air which needs no maintenance. The planes could be taking off by the minute from small inner city airports with ski-jump runways, served by metro rail stations for direct ease of access. The shuttle planes could link with major hub airports for long- haul flights. Ticketing with the supporting local rail lines could be integrated with an easy transfer – off the metro and across to the plane.
