Commercial aviation
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Commercial aviation is the part of civil aviation (both general aviation and scheduled airline service) that involves operating aircraft for hire. In most countries, a flight may be operated for money only if it meets three criteria: the pilot must hold a valid commercial pilot's license; the aircraft must hold a valid commercial registration; the operator must hold a certificate or some other authorization for commercial operations

There are some exceptions — for example, a flight instructor is normally allowed to fly for money in a private aircraft owned by her student — but these requirements hold for most flights where money changes hands.
