*Jet engines burn what is essentially diesel fuel, and inevitably produce volumes of NOx

No, jet fuel is essentially paraffin (or kerosine in the US) and is much less dense than diesel, which is more like an oil. Jet fuel, like petrol, is a solvent.

I’d say for an engineer (and depending on your parameters) 0.028kg/l could be a significance. Not that I want to side with any comments otherwise, just that I bet it’s still significant for a fluid.
