What is a 'passenger jet'?
A passenger jet is an aircraft primarily designed to transport people, typically over medium to long distances. In this story, Airlink used two such jets for the flyby. Crucially, the summary states they were 'not carrying passengers', meaning they were empty for the stunt, which reduces risk compared to a fully loaded commercial flight.
