Compressed air is free on a jetliner. It’s called “bleed” air and comes directly from the engine turbine BEFORE the fuel is mixed in the jet. Does not cost fuel. I agree with the filtration system problems though!!

All the energy used in an airplane comes from the fuel tank.

using bleed air reduces the efficiency of an engine.
