Re-order Paragraphs
Arrange the sentences into the correct order.
Put the sentences in the correct order:
- This shift has allowed a number of regional airports to stay open and economically relevant even though the scheduled passenger flights that first justified their construction have largely disappeared.
- Rather than closing entirely, many of these airports reinvented themselves as hubs for cargo flights, flight training schools, and private aviation, uses that require less passenger traffic to remain viable.
- Passenger numbers at regional airports fell sharply as a result, leaving several of them with far more runway and terminal capacity than they actually needed.
- When major airlines began consolidating their networks around a handful of large hub airports to cut costs, many of these smaller routes were quietly discontinued.
- Small regional airports once thrived by offering short flights that connected rural towns to larger cities without requiring a long drive.
