- Contexto
- The civil aviation sector includes private, commercial and government-owned aircraft that are primarily transporting cargo and passengers, both nationally and internationally.
- Most governments traditionally regard air cargo as part of passenger air services, because most national Airlines carry cargo in combination with their scheduled passenger services, with relatively few having all-cargo operations.
