在美国乘飞机旅行非常方便,价格也比其它任何地方便宜。美国的州际及国际航空公司有几百家,全都是私营,各航空公司之间的竞争很激烈。据国际民航组织1986年统计,美国有3200架民航飞机,占世界总数的五分之一,占世界总航行里程的46.7%,占世界总旅客人数的64.7%。世界上10个最繁忙的机场中,美国占了8个。其顺序排列为:Chicago-O'Hare International(1), Atlanta(2), Los Angeles(3), Dallas-Fort Worth(4), New York-Kennedy International(6), Newark, New Jersey(7), Denver(8)和 San Francisco International(10)。
