airliners
Commercial sky vessels
Airliners are large passenger aircraft operated by airlines for commercial flights.
The term distinguishes these planes from private, military, or cargo aircraft: The airliner touched down twenty minutes late.
Most airliners are jet-powered, carrying anywhere from a hundred to several hundred passengers on scheduled routes.
