I have been very inquisitive about air travel lately. This took me on a journey to actually find out how much it costs to fuel planes.
In this article, we would be using a Boeing 747 as reference and data (cost of aviation fuel) provided by IATA (International Air Transport Association).We would be calculating how much fuel would be consumed on a flight from Lagos (MMA) to London (Heathrow).
First, let’s get some parameters right

Distance between the two airports :
Approx. 5,006 Km

Time taken for the journey :
6 hours 35 mins , which is equal to 395 mins

Cost of aviation fuel :

According to IATA, it costs 211.23 cts/gal
cts/gal is a term used in aviation,it means cents per gallon.
Lets convert this figure to ₦/litre
Lets use 360 per $
One dollar is 100 cents
211.23 cents = 2.11 dollars
To Naira = ₦759.6
This figure is per gallon
1 Gallon is approx. 3.79 litres
That means its costs ₦759.6 per 3.79 litres
That gives us ₦200.42 per litre

Quantity of fuel used for the journey :
The Boeing 747 uses about 12 litres per kilometre
Remember we are travelling 5,006 Km
That’s 60,072 litres consumed from Lagos to London
Let’s covert that to Naira
Remember it costs ₦200.42 per litre
That brings the total cost of fuel to travel from Lagos to London to ₦12,039,630.24!!

Noticed any error ?
Kindly indicate.

Buhari has become toothpick for every one, even if the governor of your state is the error to the development of your state the blame will still be on Buhari.

So a plane can carry 60,000+ fuel in its tank at once? that's double of what a trailer struggles to carry from Lagos up north for days.

bluefilm:
I like your straight forward calculations.

Let me quickly check into my Professor Cuthbert Calculus mode and see if I could invent solar powered batteries for Boeings so that they will have no need for fuel anymore.

It will take a lot of calculations so please help me tell Captain Haddock that I don't need any of his Blistering Barnacles bleating anywhere around me in the days to come.

voraz:


Snowy will keep the Cap'n at bay. �

Haddock:

Billions of blue blistering barnacles! How can a fluffy bag of bones like good old Snowy keep me at bay because of Professor bluefilm?

I'd have asked Thompson and Thompson to handle it, but their hats (and canes) are in transit..... Or rather the transit is in their hats and or canes.
Precisely!

bluefilm:



You guys are really crazy.

Luckily for me, I have just discovered The Secret of the Unicorn.
