Following Charles Lindbergh's groundbreaking solo transatlantic flight in 1927, air travel has evolved into a crucial force behind worldwide movement and trade. In the early days, just a handful of trailblazing airlines linked major cities, primarily focusing on passenger and mail delivery. Over time, with the introduction of jet planes like the Boeing 707, air travel experienced rapid expansion.
The continuous rise in air travel since the 1960s has spurred the development of advanced wide and narrow-body aircraft, along with new sectors like corporate business jets. Package delivery services (including DHL, FedEx, UPS, and others) have seen tremendous growth, becoming vital for modern distributed supply networks and global trade.
