ABSTRACT
In developing a richer understanding of interconnected mobility systems, we need to consider how they overlap and reinforce or contradict each other. In this chapter, I consider the extent to which the automobile is a part of journeys by plane. Aero-automobility is a hybrid form of long-distance travel, combining the features of individual control and freedom of the car with the long-distance reach and highly structured nature of air travel. Even a global system such as the air network needs to be considered within local and regional contexts, including the extent to which it intersects with other mobility systems.
