So the argument is that bunker fuel is "greener" because they've not spent so much energy to refine it? :-/

Would you also factor in the related infrastructure? I’d assume there’s a lot more power consumption involved with the running of airports, but i wouldn’t know how that equates per person, per mile.

Chris Packham advocates ferries as greener than flying. I have a hazy memory from childhood that it takes rather a lot of energy to get jet fuel from the oil pumped out the ground. This is rarely included as a factor in the equation. Ozone damage compared between diesel and jet fuel might also be more comparable despite the diesel being more smoggy....?
I’m not sure if this is a question or an answer!
