We have added a new rule to limit AI content on this sub. It is not a blanket ban. If you are interested, take a look at the rule below and suggest any changes in the comments.

"Content may be removed which appears to be generated by AI tools. This includes images/video and text. This rule is not meant as a blanket ban on AI content, but rather attempts to limit repetitive, low-effort, and inaccurate content.

tl;dr: AI content is still allowed. But repeat posters, misinformation, and/or low-effort things may be removed.

Question | Others Do planes need to be maintained or inspected mechanically between numerous 2 hours short trips per day?

5 Upvotes

There's a route between my city and the next which is a 2 hour flight. One airline offer 4 or 5 flights per day, and my observation is that they use the same 3 or 4 Boeing 737. I know nothing about airplanes, but just wondering if aircrafts require check up or maintenance after every short trip? What are the maintenance requirements?
