Commercial aviation
Commercial aviation is the part of civil aviation (both general aviation and scheduled airline services) that involves working aircraft for hire to transport passengers or multiple loads of cargo.
The Air Commerce Act of 1926 began to allow commercial aviation by creating standards, facilitation, and promotion.[1]
