The smaller, personal planes require a key to start.
Commercial planes don't. They have everything done with butons.

Every plane I ever flew required a key to engage the instrument panel. The only plane I can think of that didn't was an old 1951 TaylorCraft and that took two people -- one to turn the prop while the other pumped the carbs in the cockpit.

I know that many small aircraft need keys such as the Cessna 150.

Depends on the plane. Most bigger ones you 'just' push the starter button.
