They are already here !
But it has a lot to see with the type of operation:
A-330
AMSTERDAM - VANCOUVER
4174 NM (Great Circle)
Fuel Burn
52000 Kg
Standard Airline ops at
270 pax
Fuel burn per passenger/100 km =
3.1 Liter
Standard Charter ops at
360 pax
Fuel burn per passenger/100 km =
2.3 Liter
Now I would not go in that comparison with cars as to find such highway does not look promising, even at 1.5 time the distance ...
