Why not both?
Because most normal people use a flight when they actually need to.
In what scenario would a normal person need to fly within Europe?
Unfortunately the train routes from the Netherlands to, say, Portugal, Spain, Italy, or eastern Europe are not well developed enough yet. The train is great in the directions of Paris, Frankfurt, Berlin, and London, but beyond that it often takes longer than flying and often requires multiple tickets
You just describe when it's convenient not when anyone needs to fly. With the same reasoning everyone needs to use a car for everything outside a 500m radius because it's faster than going by bike.
