commuter plane
Short-haul flyer
A commuter plane is a small aircraft designed for short regional flights, typically carrying fewer than thirty passengers between nearby cities or connecting smaller airports to major hubs.
These planes serve routes too short or low-traffic to justify full-sized airliners: The commuter plane to Martha's Vineyard seats about twelve.
