I was told the other day that people are starting to fly out of municipal airports that have private little airlines just for that reason.

The one in our small Central Oregon Coast airport will take folks to Reno and I believe the bay area in Cali. I am not sure how far North they fly.

Boy that sounds great since our PDX is a three to four hour drive depending on traffic. I am a little leary about flying in a timy plane though. Not that I would ever get a holiday to go flying around but still it is a thought for others to do it.

BTW I do not know squat about planes other than I have flew in big and little in the past. Whenever a plane crash is on the news it seems to be a tiny one. My son was life flighted once and the crew told me that even though he was in respirtory distress he had a big smile on his face the whole trip. They had a blast.

Just a guess, but probably because there are a lot more small planes in the country than airliners. There's a lot of other reasons (lack of a co-pilot, flying into remote locations that even under the best weather conditions are difficult, etc.).
