The Galapagos comes to mind. The entire economy is premised upon commercial jets landing there hourly. Puerto Rico, Bahamas, etc. Even Continental but remote tourism-driven places like Costa Rica.

I think the price response to a shortage of planes would be super-linear, given that those who fly regularly are not representative of the average economic means. Prices would more than double.
