Air transport has six characteristics: commodity, service, international, paramilitary, capital, technology risk-intensive and natural monopoly. Air transportation is a mode of transportation that uses airplanes, helicopters and other aircraft to transport people, goods and mail.

Due to the international economic depression in the past two years, the air transport industry has encountered bottlenecks, but there is still a broad space for development in the future, which is worth exploring.

Air transport is also called air transport, or "air transport" for short. It is a mode of transportation with aircraft as the means of transportation under the conditions of airline and airport. In China's transportation industry, air transport accounts for a relatively small proportion of the national transportation volume, mainly undertaking long-distance passenger transport tasks. With the rapid development of logistics, air transport will also play an important role in freight transportation.

Air transport enterprises mainly operate in the form of regular transport, charter transport and special plane transport. Usually, shift transportation is the main way, and the latter two are arranged temporarily according to needs. According to the schedule, the transportation task is carried out by fixed aircraft along a fixed route and at a fixed time.
