I'm wondering if this is a GPT weak translation? I agree that it's not a term most people would understand. Fast Travel Services to me mean something like fast train services or Concord flights. Self Loading Freight may be a term here would understand better as that's what travel is becoming like. Even travelling in Business Class at LHR last month we were directed to the check-in machines and had to load the bags onto the belt at another counter. This used to be done at one "stop" and it feels like a longer process. I feel like the only service I get from the airlines is actually flying me from A to B, and occasionally if I'm lucky, they might feed me!
