commercial jet

Flying public transport

A commercial jet is a jet-powered aircraft designed to carry paying passengers or cargo on scheduled routes.

The term distinguishes these planes from military jets and private aircraft: The commercial jet was delayed due to weather.

Most modern air travel happens on commercial jets operated by airlines.
