From the article:

“In airline service, operators would need to recharge the batteries between flights, with charging times correlating closely to flight times, says Ganzarski. That means the batteries would need about 30-40min of charging following a 30min flight. The weight of the batteries makes swapping spent cells for fresh cells unfeasible between flights, he says.”

Yeah i wasnt very clear. Drop zones keep those planes moving all day long. It could be done but the substantially increased amount of time spent ’refueling’ means you’d either need more planes or just accept fewer customers.
