It's rather backwards to pull CO2 from air - with all energy required - just to make it the jet fuel. Instead, stop running jets - except very exceptional, or some hydrogen-based, move to propellers - most jets are subsonic anyway, and move from regular plastics to biodegradable ones.
This article is about the latter. 37X looks surely tiny comparing to how much we need to scale CO2 atmosphere scrubbing...
