Airliner facts for kids

Kids Encyclopedia Facts

An airliner is a type of large airplane designed to carry many passengers and goods. These planes are usually flown by airline companies.

The biggest airliners are known as "wide-body aircraft." They are often called twin-aisle aircraft because they usually have two separate aisles running down the middle of the passenger area. These huge planes are typically used for very long flights, connecting major cities and airline hubs with lots of people.

A more common type of airliner is the "narrow-body aircraft," also known as a single-aisle plane. These smaller airliners are generally used for shorter or medium-distance flights and carry fewer passengers than the wide-body ones.
