It doesn't account for the full difference in price, but air travel is still widely unfairly subsidised compared to trains.
For example, jet fuel is not taxed for international flights, whereas diesel for international trains (almost the same actual fuel) is taxed.
Airports also enjoy very favourable planning and tax treatment.
