The sky shuttle was extremely fast. Despite flying in the atmosphere, its speed could reach up to twenty thousand kilometers per hour.
There was almost no flying beast that could match such high speed. The safety of travelling on it was absolutely guaranteed, and the first choice of those who were wealthy enough for intercontinental travel.
Of course, this was also the only choice available, since ordinary passenger planes were too accident prone. As such, intercontinental flights had been cancelled since the dawn of the new age.
Even if there were one or two terrifying flying beasts that could catch up to the sky shuttle, it could still choose to directly fly out of the atmosphere, leaving those flying beasts unable to give chase any longer. The environment in outer space wasn't something any life form could casually enter and survive.
