puddle hopper
Small regional aircraft
A puddle hopper is a small aircraft used for short regional flights, especially one that hops between small airports or islands: We took a puddle hopper from the mainland to the keys.
The term suggests something modest and perhaps rickety, covering short distances the way a child hops between puddles.
