For some reason that math does not seem correct.

The real math is that it is equivalent to ~3000 - 5000 10 hour flights.

I don't know how much a fully laden "large plane" weighs, but it's nowhere near 450,000 tons. Which means that the claim it releases 450,000 tons of CO2 on a single flight is clearly bollocks.
