Which code does this activity belong in?
Scheduled air transportation comprises establishments operating flights on regular routes at fixed times, whether flights depart with full or partial capacity. This includes passenger carriers, cargo carriers, and helicopter services following established schedules, as well as contract mail carriers. Nonscheduled air transportation, by contrast, covers establishments providing air transportation without adhering to regular routes or timetables, serving customers on an as-needed basis rather than according to published schedules.
