In what way do you think the current airline fuel prices are not realistic? You might also have to rethink your belief in that being an unfair advantage over ferries once you know that UK ships run on 'duty-free' fuel - and that airline travel is actually heavily taxed already, just not via the fuel. Indeed, the government's take is pretty substantial: on many journeys, they pocket more money in tax than the airline itself receives!
