I am not able to verify the accuracy of your calculations, but for comparison, Delta circa 2018 marketed how its entire fleet (flying at a pretty high capacity factor) averaged ~44 passenger miles per gallon.
I don’t know how air freight is factored into fuel efficiency calculations, but it has become an increasing part of passenger airlines’ business models in the past decade, too.
