Key Points:
- But how did commercial flights go from being exclusively for the wealthy to the mainstream and affordable option it is today?
- In 1935, one of the world's oldest airlines, Qantas, operated its first international passenger flight, travelling from Brisbane to Singapore.
- The introduction of the Douglas DC-3 in 1935 also had a big impact on the future of commercial flight.
- However, nobody in the industry could prepare for the global aircraft groundings and unpredictable travel restrictions caused by COVID-19.
