A passenger airline is an airline dedicated to the transport of passengers. Passenger airlines usually operate a fleet of passenger aircraft which, rather than being owned outright, are usually leased from commercial aircraft sales and leasing companies. There are several types of passenger airlines, mainly * Charter airlines, operating outside of regular schedule intervals * Flag carriers – The historically nationally owned airlines that were considered representative of the country overseas. * Legacy carriers – US carriers that predate the Airline Deregulation Act of 1978 * Major airlines of the United States – Airlines with at least $1 billion in revenues. * Low-cost carriers, giving a "basic", "no-frills" and perceived inexpensive service * Mainline airlines operate flights by the airline's main operating unit, rather than by regional affiliates or subsidiaries. * Regional airlines, non-"mainline" airlines that operate regional aircraft. Regionals typically operate over shorter non-intercontinental distances, often as feeder services for legacy mainline networks. * Business class airline – An airline aimed at the business traveler, featuring all business class seating and amenities. ==References== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Passenger airline」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
