Air Transport is a collective term for all Aircraft in a mission whose primary job is to move Infantry, Resupply Crates and/or Vehicles into the Area of Operations, out of the Area of Operations, or from one location to another. The term can also (rarely) be used to refer to any and all Transport Aircraft.
Air Transport is one of the most common ways to move men and equipment in ShackTac missions. It is quick and mostly safe, but often requires skilled Pilots and significant pre-planning.
Since the use of Transport Planes and Transport Helicopters is very different, procedures and specifications are explained separately for each of these groups on their own articles.
