Air transport is a mode of transportation that uses airplanes, helicopters and other aircraft to transport people, goods, and mail. It is fast and mobile. It is an important method of modern passenger transportation, especially long-distance passenger transportation, and is indispensable for the transportation of valuables, fresh goods and precision instruments in international trade.
Air transport has six characteristics: commodity, service, international, paramilitary, capital, technology and risk-intensive, and natural monopoly. Air transport originated in 1871. Due to the international economic downturn in the past two years, the air transport industry has encountered bottlenecks. However, in the future, there is still a vast space for the development of air transport that is worth exploring.
