This is what a traceroute from a Norwegian Airlines airplane looks like. I grapped it flying from Nice to Copenhagen on the 22nd of April 2013.

What benefit does tcptraceroute have over MTR in this case?

In 2019 Norwegian is doing something cleaver with outgoing traceroutes (also an European flight):

$ traceroute google.com
traceroute to google.com (172.217.22.14), 64 hops max, 52 byte packets
 1  fra16s14-in-f14.1e100.net (172.217.22.14)  1487.690 ms * *

The other way it looks like this (traceroute starts in Amsterdam):
