International flight

The aftermath of the Second World War brought about widespread cultural changes in multiple nations that resulted in international flights becoming embraced by large populations.

[3] These international facilities typically are of a far greater size than standard airports, usually including expanded amenities such as areas with bookshops, lounges, and restaurants.

One of the first flights between two countries was on January 7, 1785, when Jean-Pierre Blanchard and John Jeffries crossed the English Channel in a hot air balloon.

[4] It took more than a century for the first heavier-than-air object to repeat this process: Louis Blériot crossed the English Channel on July 25, 1909,[5] winning a Daily Mail prize of £1,000.

The first regular international service in the world was covered by the British Aircraft Transport and Travel, from Hounslow Heath Aerodrome to Le Bourget, near Paris.

A variety of airliners have moved into place at Tokyo Narita Airport in April 2012, with all of the depicted aircraft arriving in Japan as a result of international flights.
Larger aircraft such as the Airbus A380 are often used for international flights.
