Airlines frequently lose money flying massive, fuel-heavy Boeing or Airbus jets on low-demand, regional routes. However, if they reduce flight frequencies to fill the large planes, they lose business travelers who demand flexible, multiple-times-a-day flight schedules between secondary cities.
Tertiary cities and island nations often have short runways, extreme weather, or lack the heavy infrastructure needed to handle traditional commercial jets. This physically isolates these communities from global trade and tourism networks.
