If you account for the impact of the emissions, rather than their weight, air travel is ~6-10% (Because emissions at 30,000 feet have a larger greenhouse effect.)

Since CO2 is mixed in the atmosphere on a timescale short compared to how long it's going to linger there, your argument does not work.
