The tax on jet fuel for international flight is zero.
The tax (US) on jet fuel for domestic is four point three cents (4.3 cents)
a gallon. That has to change.
Airlines could conserve a lot, for example, by putting their
passengers on train or bus, thus not needing an aircraft.
Of course, airlines think that gasoline tax should go up.
