What are overflight charges
Countries charge airlines for permission to use their air space for over flight. Similarly airlines are also charged for landing (with a surcharge for night landings). Afghanistan (not to pick a country at random) charged $400 in overflight fees and $100 for landing/take off fees (all figures in USD)
The IATA has more detailed information.
Factoid: the Boeing 747 has a fuel efficiency of 5 gallons per mile (note the order of units)
