Do commercial jets repair the ozone layer?

A long time ago I read that some people once thought that emissions from commercial jets would repair the hole in the ozone layer? Does anybody know where that idea came from and what science currently says about that? Sources would be great if possible.Do commercial jets repair the ozone layer?
NO.

The ozone emitted from jets would not be enough to patch up holes in the ozone layer. The largest hole of the ozone layer is over Antartica. Planes do not fly there very much at all. The amount of gas (Ozone Layer) you're talking about is massive, and the holes in it were created due to chain reactions set off by CFCs allowed to operate in a closed environment (upper level winds at the poles). Planes do not emit or cause enough Ozone to make a big impact.
Saving ozone with a no-go zone: Jumbo jets are spending more time in the stratosphere than previously realized, and their emissions are damaging the ozone layer.


The world's busiest aircraft flight corridor between North America and Europe borders one of the most threatened sectors of the ozone layer, over the North Atlantic, which thins by up to 25 per cent in late winter. Every day, up to 500 civil aircraft in the corridor burst out of the troposphere and up into the stratosphere, with its fragile ozone layer. About 15 per cent of emissions from all civil flights come from these aircraft, and at least half their emissions issue straight into the stratosphere. What makes these figures significant is the increasing evidence that nitrogen oxides (NOx) and water vapour in these emissions play a key role in destroying ozone.





At a symposium in Germany last week, atmospheric chemists debated for the first time whether aircraft should be banned from the stratosphere in order to protect the ozone layer. This could be done by flying lower
