What is a Short-Haul Flight?
A short-haul flight is defined differently from airline to airline. However, typically, a short-haul flight is any direct or non-stop flight that flies anywhere under 3 hours.
As short-haul flight times are quite short, they generally fly for around 4 or 6 times each day and are usually operated by aircraft carriers such as the Boeing 717 and Airbus A319 or any other narrow-body aircraft carriers. A narrow-body aircraft tends to have one aisle in the cabin with passenger seating divided into two axial groups.
Most domestic flights (where the departure airport and the arrival airport are in the same country) are short-haul flights, however, you can find international short-haul flights flying from one country to another.
Many short-haul aircraft carriers are hybrid airlines and operate on a low-cost model. These short-haul airlines try their very best to provide an eco-friendly service to passengers.
