What is Air travel?
'''Air travel''' is the [[process]] of going from place to place by any flying object, such as [[airplane]]s, [[helicopter]]s, [[Balloon (aircraft)|balloons]], or anything that can fly. Air travel has been a human wish since the ancient age. People seeing birds flying tried to take flight in many ways. At the end of the [[18th century]] the [[Montgolfier brothers|Montgolifer brothers]] invented [[Hot air balloon|balloons made for travel]], and at the beginning of the 20th the [[Wright brothers]] invented [[Airplane|airplanes.]] Air travel has since been made much faster. Today we can think of going around the world in 24 hours, which was never possible with any other type of [[transport]]. Today air travel is a normal way to travel, for pleasure, personal need or business. Air travel can be broadly put into two groups; domestic flights, and international flights. Air travel within a country are called domestic flights. Most countries have domestic [[airline]]s to provide this service. Air travel across the borders of countries are called international flights. Long distance air travel is mostly international. == Related pages == * [[Airline]] * [[Airport]] {{transport-stub}} [[Category:Air travel| ]]
