It's a comical data collection, but the German Federal Aviation Association went out and tasked the government (the German federal folks) to provide data on air travel, and how political parties 'rate'.
What the statistics show is that Green Party leads the government in terms of official travel via the airlines. Forty-six percent of their folks had done so. They were followed by the FDP (45-percent) and CDU (40-percent).
The party with the least amount of airline travel? AfD, with 26-percent.
What kind of story does it tell? Well, it wasn't a pleasant thing for the Greens to admit this number.
My humble guess is that the Greens often attend conferences way beyond the German borders, that have to deal with environmental topics, and they would rather fly than take trains or drive there.
A slam against them? No, but it's not exactly a positive thing to admit. My guess is that they are going to force a lot of people to skip conferences in the future, or travel by van or train when possible.
