Wait a couple of years (and in the meantime double private fossil fuel plane hire).

BBC News - Electric plane could take to Scottish skies 'very soon'.

Most of the energy used in commercial flights is just to get the plane up to cruising height. What if an electric drone could help lift an electric passenger planes to cruising height, then detach and return to the airport to recharge.

The plane itself would only need to carry enough energy to maintain cruising height until it's time to land. Plus redundancy in case of delays. But it would still need to carry way less energy than existing planes.

Weatherwatch: study makes green case for #electricplanes - https://www.theguardian.com/news/2024/feb/02/weatherwatch-study-makes-green-case-for-electric-planes "Electric aircraft had lower climate impact than fossil fuel-powered aircraft after a quarter of its lifespan"

The world’s largest battery maker, CATL, has announced a major breakthrough in battery density that could enable electric planes and longer-range electric vehicles. The company has developed a new “condensed” battery with 500 Wh/kg, almost double the energy intensity of Tesla’s 4680 cells. The new battery will go into mass production this year and could open up new possibilities for transportation.
