Which code does this activity belong in?

Scheduled Passenger Air Transportation comprises establishments that operate regular, scheduled flights transporting passengers, with or without cargo. The key distinction from Scheduled Freight Air Transportation is the presence of passenger service; establishments primarily transporting freight without passengers are classified in the freight category, while those carrying passengers as their primary function belong in Scheduled Passenger Air Transportation, even if those flights also carry freight.
