The Michelin tyre company made its restaurant guide so that people would drive more and more they could sell more tyres.
And redbull invented the supercar so that people would think it made you go faster so they'd drink more redbull
And airports invented airplanes so that you would go there to go somewhere
This is propaganda by big airport
Airplanes were invented by harbors because they got annoyed by passanger liners and decided to lite a fire under them to get them inline
Only later would the "flying boats" decide to have a breakup with harbors
