🇬🇧🇨🇳 airliner - 客机 : English Lesson

Meaning of "airliner" ("客机"), detailed definition, and a short video lesson below.

An airliner is a very large airplane that is built to carry lots of passengers from one city or country to another. It has many rows of seats, windows to look out of, flight attendants to help people, and a cockpit where the pilots fly the plane. Airliners usually fly high in the sky, above the clouds, and are used for trips that would take a very long time by car or train.
