No, because aviation was still in its infancy, as were many other things.
I don't think commercial flights got started until the late 1920's.

No, commercial airliners can not fly into area by their favourite propulsion. How a jet engine works is that air gets sucked in in the process the front intake, it truly is then compressed and jumbled mutually with the gas it rather is then ignited. This speedy expansion of the compressed air creates thrust which propels the airplane forward. A rocket works by quickly igniting the gas, no air required. area is a vacuum and consequently there is not any air in area, no air means no compression and no ignition of the airplane's thrust. additionally, airplane perform by utilising raise created by the wings pushing down on the air, and because there is not any air in area you're able to easily have an excellent, bright bulk of steel moving helplessly to infinity without administration in any appreciate. A rocket adjustments that's course in area by firing small, maneuvering rockets that alter the course. desire this enables.

No, during that decade, airplanes hadn't advanced much past the wood-and-canvas stage. Commercial flight didn't really take off (no pun intended) on a substantial scale until the early 1930s.

No there were not commercial airplanes at that time .....People were just leaning how to make airplanes then. commercial airlines did not start untill after WW1.....If you check I think you will find it was in about the late 1930s when passengers were first on airplanes

FIRST SCHEDULED AIRLINE
TONY JANNUS IN A BENOIST SEAPLANE, 1914
Tony Jannus, right, poses in 1914 with prominent citizen George Gandy
in first commercial passenger plane.
70TH ANNIVERSARY OF FIRST SCHEDULED AIRLINE FLIGHT
ST. PETERSBURG - (UPI) - A designer of experimental aircraft will climb aboard a replica of a biwing Benoist seaplane today and attempt to retrace the flight of Tony Jannus on the 70th anniversary of the start of the commercial airline industry.
The Florida Historical Aviation Society has spent four years building a hand-fashioned replica of the old mahogany-hulled airboat Jannus flew from St. Petersburg to Tampa on New Year's Day 1914.
Ed Hoffman, a Tarpon Springs pilot, will take off at 10 a.m. from the Coast Guard ramp adjacent to Albert Whitted Airport. If all goes well, Hoffman will follow the 21-mile route Jannus took across Tampa Bay. He will land at the Davis Islands Seaplane Basin adjacent to Peter O. Knight Airport about 10:30 a.m.
Hoffman has already made brief test flights in the fragile wood and fabric seaplane.On his first test flight in November, Hoffman guided the plane across Lake Tarpon and its 45-foot wingspan lifted it into the air. Hoffman leveled the wings at 15 feet altitude, the height Jannus flew on his trips across the bay, then began a series of turns and dips, testing the controls.
"That plane will fly to Tampa and back with no trouble at all," said Joe Walker, as he circled his motorboat under the thundering plane. After a four-minute flight, Hoffman cut back on the throttle and the hull settled on the water.
Moments after landing, the chain-driven eight-foot propeller mounted at the rear of the plane stopped. The chain had broken. But that caused no concern because the plane Jannus flew also had problems with the chain.
The New Year's Day flight by Jannus in 1914 was the first scheduled airline flight with a passenger and started him on a career of ferrying paying passengers across the bay.
Hoffman's attempt to re-enact the flight is the second time an attempt has been made. Another replica was built with hopes of flying the route in January 1964, on the 50th anniversary of the flight, but the pilot could not get the craft airborne. It later was flown successfully on very short flights later in the year, but never over Jannus' route.
From a News Clipping of The Miami Herald, Sunday, Jan. 1, 1984
Mrs. A. L. Whitney, First Woman To Fly on a Scheduled Airline, 1914.
FIRST FEMALE PASSENGER ON A SCHEDULED AIRLINE
Mrs. L. A. Whitney, wife of the Secretary of Commerce of St. Petersburg, Florida, has the distinction of being the first female passenger on a regularly scheduled airline. Mrs. Whitney flew from St. Petersburg to Tampa on January 8, 1914. Her flight was not without incident --- Jannus was forced to land the aircraft on Tampa Bay some distance from land because of engine trouble, but he soon repaired it and successfully completed the flight.
President John F. Kennedy participated in commemorating the 50th anniversary of Jannus' flight in Tampa Nov. 18, 1963, four days before the President was assassinated in Dallas.
In January 1964, the Tampa Chamber of Commerce began an annual presentation of a Tony Jannus Award to a person who is recognized for his contributions to the scheduled airline industry.
The first award went to Sen. Mike Monroney (D., Okla.).

No. The first plane wasn't even invented until 1903 and it only went up for about 12 seconds.
