Essay from the year 2011 in the subject History Europe - Other Countries - Newer History, European Unification, grade: 1,3, York University, language: English, abstract: This Essay will focus on commercial aviation and traveller's experience in the late 20th century rather than the very first beginnings of flying in the past centuries. Furthermore when we talk of flights we mostly mean transcontinental flights because within Great Britain passenger air transport is still a minority transport option. Indeed even in the 1990s the proportion of total passenger travel within Britain undertaken by air was still under 1 per cent. Unlike road and rail transport, air transport is the fastest and most costly of all transport modes and it inherently is, like shipping, a long-distance mode.
