Merits are more in number as compared to demerits. These are Less travel time because it is the fastest mode of transport available till now. Second is, it is comfortable as compared to buses or local trains.Connectivity is an issue in air travelling i.e. not all cities have airports or not all of them are connected. Some cities have smaller airports there reaches 1 or 2 flights a day. Another demerit is it is expensive then most of the transport means.
