Flying public transit
Commercial jets are large passenger aircraft powered by jet engines, operated by airlines for scheduled flights.
The term distinguishes these from military jets, private jets, and propeller-driven aircraft.
Commercial jets transformed international travel in the 1960s.
Most seat between 100 and 500 passengers and fly routes ranging from regional hops to intercontinental journeys.
