passenger airlines
People-moving air services
Passenger airlines are commercial aviation companies that transport people rather than cargo as their primary business.
These carriers operate scheduled or charter flights on routes ranging from short regional hops to long-haul international journeys.
The industry distinguishes between full-service carriers offering meals and amenities and budget airlines that charge separately for extras.
Most passenger airlines have loyalty programs to reward frequent flyers.
