Lennufirmades

Lennufirmades, which translates to "airlines" in Estonian, refers to companies that provide air transport services for passengers and cargo. These companies operate a fleet of aircraft, ranging from small propeller planes to large commercial jets, and fly scheduled routes or charter flights. The airline industry is a global business with companies operating on both domestic and international scales.

Airlines are typically characterized by their business models, which can include full-service carriers offering a wide range of amenities and services, or low-cost carriers focusing on affordable fares with fewer included extras. They are subject to strict regulations regarding safety, airworthiness, and passenger service, overseen by national and international aviation authorities.

The operations of an airline involve complex logistics, including flight scheduling, aircraft maintenance, crew management, ground handling, and ticketing systems. Fuel costs, labor, and aircraft acquisition are significant expenses. Customer service, reliability, and pricing are key factors in the competitive landscape of the airline industry. Many airlines also participate in alliances or code-sharing agreements to expand their networks and offer more travel options to their passengers.
