Yes, probably. Many places would have e.g. better rail infra if domestic flights were more expensive, and the climate would be better off.
You can argue this is anti-growth or whatever, but this is the same site complaining about RTO initiatives: Perhaps incentivizing personal travel isn't what we want to do or need anyway, and for cargo the air route really doesn't look that good.
