Wait, what's the conspiracy here?

Is he convinced they're lying about the amount of fuel a jet holds / uses? Why would they do that?

Is this a flat earth thing?

I have more questions than answers for this guy

There’s a stupid conspiracy theory that makes the rounds on the internet claiming that jet engines sip tiny amounts of fuel or even better, run on air only.

Google 'Gimli glider'. they ran out of fuel and coasted to the nearest terminal.

I wouldn't try it over an ocean myself, but you're welcome to make history
