There is no such thing as "the airline trust fund", it is called the
"Airport and Airway Trust Fund" and is funded at the rate in the table
below. The private aircraft I used to fly would burn ~ 700 gallons of jet
fuel between Dallas and New York. We normally carried 4-5 passengers. At
the tax rate of $0.218/gallon it would be $152.60 per trip, or $38.15 tax
per passenger. I do not see the airlines collecting anything near that.


That was my typo. I meant the airport trust fund. We are talking
about the same thing.
