What is the work of aviation and civil aviation transportation?

It is a mode of transportation that uses airplanes, helicopters and other aircraft to transport people, goods and mail. It is used to transport valuables, fresh goods and precision instruments in international trade.

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.

Extended data

The elements to realize air transportation mainly include air stations, planes, routes, flights and airlines.

1, air station. The air station, commonly known as the airport, is also called the airport, which is the place where planes fly.

2. the plane. Aircraft in a narrow sense refers to aircraft. Aircraft in a broad sense refers to all machines that can be supported by the reaction of air in the atmosphere. The plane referred to here mainly refers to the plane in a narrow sense.

3. route. An airline is an approved air traffic line connecting two or more places for regular or irregular flight and transportation services. The route specifies the clear direction, stopping place, route width and flight altitude of the route. In order to ensure flight safety and maintain air traffic order, civil aviation engaged in transport flights must fly in accordance with the prescribed routes.

4. flight. The plane takes off from the originating station, stops at the terminal station and transports it according to the prescribed route. This is called flying. According to the flight schedule, the flight should use the specified model on the specified route and fly at the specified date and time. That is, it has the characteristics of "fixed route, model, date and time".

5. airlines. An airline refers to a company that owns aircraft and is engaged in air transport services. Airlines have the following characteristics:

First of all, there must be a certain number of aircraft, which is the prerequisite for the establishment of airlines.

Secondly, there must be an air transport business that is compatible with its capabilities.

Third, the main business of airlines is to transport passengers and goods from one place to another.
