The vast majority of people travelling aren’t jet-set or 1% flying in first - they’re just normal hard-working people flying in economy who happen to have a job that requires them to travel and don't have any choice in that matter if they want to put food on their tables and feed buying their children new shoes.

The vast majority of people travelling for work aren’t doing so by plane. From the perspective of overland transport, people going to/from airports are the 1%. The 99% are all the people who's jobs don't involve them flying anywhere.
Maybe COVID will render many of these "must travel for work" use cases obsolete! One can hope...
