Whether the Wright brothers or Da Vinci deserve the honor of inventing the airplane
or flying machine as it was known then, time and technology has progressed this mode of transportation into the jet age. Air cargo charters transporting goods fly alongside jet aircrafts of passengers. Regions and seasons no longer confine restaurateurs and taste buds to local produce as foods and fruits from foreign lands adorn menus and line supermarket shelves.
Although larger aircrafts are the sensible means in achieving better returns, situations may call for lesser forms of transport. Small deliveries usually do not require four-engine crafts unless there are just reasons to burn more fuel and further thin out the ozone layer. As such, a small aircraft delivery makes absolute sense. Source and destination factors also contribute to the decision making process. Take-off and landing on a runway the size of a band aid may best be done with a suitably sized plane. Short of running out of tarmac or dirt road and ending up in a ditch, no pilot is brave or dim-witted enough to take such a risk.
Other times when an air cargo charter of smaller dimensions is called for is the need for a complete and compact package. A mobile hospital with flying doctors and nurses who may double up as flight crew is the answer to speedy health care services for rural areas. In times of emergency and disaster, this can quickly take to air with minimal delay.
Small aircraft delivery of passengers serves as an air taxi for commuting needs. A rancher from the outback coming into the city for some business dealings or one on route to a town not serviced by a major airport appreciate the service. Being of smaller size, the plane is able to land at airstrips of local private airports. This reduces time delay often associated with larger airports such as taxing, queuing and disembarkation.
