A mile of air travel is surprisingly close to a mile in car travel in terms of emissions. Air travel used to be worse but only recently got better - about 10 years ago for short haul flights and 3 years ago for long haul flights.
Working internationally and flying in 4 times a year is probably worse than living locally and driving in 5 days a week. Assuming you fly 16,000 miles or would drive 12,0000. Living locally and working from home a few days a week is probably the best compromise.
