SaveAn airline has decided to introduce a flight from London, England to St. John’s, Antigua. The airline owns a range of aeroplanes as shown in the table below. It needs to decide which one would be best suited to do this flight. The distance travelled between London and St John's is a maximum of 5600 miles; variability is due to different flight paths. A weekly flight would have between 163 and 177 passengers.

Which plane (A - H) is the most fuel efficient plane per passenger per mile that would be suitable for this flight?
