passenger aircraft
Flying people carrier
A passenger aircraft is an airplane designed to transport people rather than cargo.
The term covers everything from small regional planes to wide-body jets carrying hundreds of travelers.
Most commercial flights operate passenger aircraft, though some planes are configured for mixed passenger-cargo service.
The passenger aircraft was delayed due to weather.
