Commercial Airliners (37 - 600 seats)

Airliners are large aircraft designed to transport a minimum of 20 passengers and up to 400 travelers per flight depending on the model. They are the large carriers of the aeronautics industry, particularly developed by manufacturers like Airbus or Boeing, capable of operating commercial, business, or freight flights. In the first part of the 20th century, they were designed for military aviation and cargo flights.

Airliners are divided into 3 categories: short-haul, medium-haul, long-haul.

The technical characteristics of airliners
They can cover distances of up to nine hours nonstop and land at more than 300 airports. Short to medium-capacity airliners (37 – 147 seats) generally offer only single-class configurations to maximize passenger capacity and are perfect for group event travel: seminars, transporting teams and supporters.

Long-range airliners are suitable for larger groups. They have been put into service to carry between 150 and 600 passengers wishing to travel to distant destinations around the world. These aircraft have a cruising speed of about 850 km/h and can fly for up to 9 hours without stopping. These airliners generally offer onboard hot or cold catering services, as well as entertainment options depending on the aircraft.

The place of airliners in the aeronautics sector
The emergence of the airliner has significantly changed the history of aeronautics and the world of aviation by propelling commercial flight to levels never reached before 2019 and the Covid crisis. Connecting international airports, these aircraft are specially designed to ensure the boarding and transport of a large number of passengers. International and regional airports are thus capable of accommodating these types of aircraft. Besides commercial aviation, business aviation and cargo flights use these aircraft to meet different missions.

Many aircraft manufacturers compete for the market and the production of airliners to meet the demands of traditional airlines for commercial flights, such as Air France KLM, British Airways, but also low-cost airlines like Ryanair. Manufacturers must also adapt this range of aircraft for business aviation. Thus, discover below the airliners adapted to your needs.
