Assuming the speed of the jumbo jet was 550 mph and that Earth and Mercury were at their smallest distance (the distance changes with the orbit) of about 48 million miles we can conclude:

Time = Distance / Speed

Time = (48,000,000 mi) / (550 mi / hr)

Time =~ 87,300 hours =~ 3640 days =~ 10.0 years

It should be noted: that an assumption was made that this was even possible (no atmosphere, escape velocity of the earth, etc.)

In reality the answer here is, it wouldn't be able to make it.
