air shuttle
Short-haul plane service
A regularly scheduled flight service operating between two cities at frequent intervals, typically hourly or more often, with minimal advance booking required.
Air shuttles usually connect major hubs like New York–Washington or Los Angeles–San Francisco: I'll catch the next shuttle to Boston.
The term emphasizes convenience and frequency over luxury.
