The 80% figure are flights longer than 1500 km. 1500 and less are the 20%.
So even if all those flights were switched to magic zero emission electricity, the aggregate improvement over the whole industry would barely beat the relative improvement between a 737 NG and a MAX. (yes, this is an apples to orchards comparison)
