Operators say flying to remote locations will be as easy as hailing a cab, reports Wang Wen in Zhuhai.
Getting to the remotest parts of China has traditionally meant long drives. Some destinations are so isolated and in such difficult terrain that even road transportation is not feasible. Now, a group of tiny new airlines plan to operate commuter flights to these far-flung destinations.
Commuter aviation, which originated in the United States, is a type of general aviation that uses small aircraft (less than 30 seats) in remote regions.
