No.
Air travel is generally a separate category of travel that's mostly independent from other forms of travel. It directly competes with long range high speed rail, but it's far worse than rail travel. http://www.seat61.com/CO2flights.htm
Air travel sit's between single passenger cars and buses in terms of pollution. The break-even is generally ~3 people in a car depending on MPG and how out of the way the airport is.
