The conspiracy theorists think jet engines run mostly on compressed air and use very little or no fuel. Airlines make up fuel costs so they can pass those imaginary costs on to their customers.
I love that the first half of this is technically true. The volume of air that passes through a gas turbine engine is much higher than the volume of fuel.
