People also ask, when did people start traveling on airplanes?
Air travel has changed drastically throughout the decades. From the very first flight in the early 1900s to seat-side, hand-carved hams in the 1950s, to today's touch screen entertainment system, air travel has come a long way.
Also question is, how did the airline industry develop in the 1920's?
Airline Expansion and Innovation (1927 - 1941) Despite the Great Depression, air transportation experienced phenomenal growth and change from the late 1920s through the 1930s, before U.S. entry into World War II intervened. Passenger service took root and grew, and air routes spread across the country.
Usually, when airlines plan flights, they choose the route between A and B that is the least time-consuming. The reason is simple: the shorter the distance, the less fuel is used, airlines save money. Another reason why flight routes may be changed is because of weather conditions.
