The Convenience of Air Travel

10 Airplane

The first passenger airline in our country was launched in 1923. A person could fly from Moscow to Gorky, saving a significant amount of time. There’s even a report on the operations of this airline: in one year, it transported 229 passengers. During the years of turmoil, this was undoubtedly a remarkable achievement.
But now, such passenger flights can be completed in just 30 minutes. The TU-104 aircraft can carry 229 people and deliver them to Gorky in half an hour.
And if passengers were transported solely by airplanes between Moscow and Leningrad, with the number of travelers not exceeding 7,000,000 people a year, do you know how many planes would be needed for that?
Just 6 airliners!
