Air-travel is the most modern form of public transport and it was developed in the 20th century. Millions of
people use airplanes for a variety of reasons. It is also extremely expensive to set up air-travel facilities. Some
travel for business. Others go on holiday by air and others use cargo planes to move their products from
country to country very quickly. Some courier companies now have their own planes ready to carry parcels
and post more efficiently. There are different types of passenger services. Some are cheap and provide a
service which is good for short journeys. Other airlines provide passengers with a luxurious flying experience.
Airports are getting busier and it is evident that more passengers and businesses than ever are using airplanes
to get to their destinations.
