1. What types of airlines do you know?

Formerly airlines were classified into local, regional, national and international. Today they are classified according to their annual turnover. The biggest companies have the turnover from $100 million to $1 billion, the big regional - $10-$100 million, the average – less than $10 million. It’s very important to remember that there are two kinds of airline operations-scheduled and nonscheduled. A scheduled airline operates on fixed routs at fixed times according to a timetable that is available to public. A nonscheduled airline operates on routs at a time when there is a demand for the service. The nonscheduled airline is in other words a charter operation that rents an aircraft.
