Integrated Air–Ground Networks: Ground Connectivity Is Critical to Aviation Resilience Commercial aviation relies on more than aircraft and airports — ground transport keeps passengers, cargo and critical equipment moving between terminals, maintenance facilities and freight hubs. Integrating road, rail and port connectivity into planning strengthens resilience against disruptions that ripple through airline networks and supply chains.
