Yes they do. A big part of it is their size / capacity. Per passenger or per kg cargo they’re pretty efficient, but that doesn’t change the fact that they burn ~280,000 liters on a typical (Washington D.C. to Frankfurt) Atlantic crossing round trip.
Yes, overstated - it’s a two way Atlantic crossing. And if you consider Newfoundland to Ireland to be “an Atlantic crossing” that certainly uses less, and it’s rounded up a bit - though with unfavorable wind conditions it can exceed 300,000 liters.
Also, be careful what you believe when you ask AI a question - what’s wrong with this answer? "A Boeing 747 burns roughly 18,000 to 24,000 gallons of fuel for the Miami to Frankfurt flight, which is about 36,000 to 50,000 liters. "
I mean an Atlantic round trip fully laden, yah but that’s just even economical compared to private jet travel, which completely defeats the purpose of the shock value number
