passenger flights

Scheduled air travel

Passenger flights are scheduled or chartered air travel services that carry people rather than cargo.

The term distinguishes commercial aviation serving travelers from freight operations: Passenger flights to Europe resumed after the strike ended.

Most air travel discussion assumes passenger flights unless cargo or military transport is specified.
