The flights will fly to the pickup point to load troops and continue to the drop off location where they will extract the units. The units will then head to the center of the Zone created by the Assault Waypoint. It is important that the drop off waypoint is within the boundary of this assault waypoint zone. Otherwise the troops will not head to the target zone. When this mission is tasked from a carrier then there will be no pick up needed as the troops can be loaded directly from the deck of the carrier. + +This mission type is only available when the CTLD plugin is enabled as it is required for the troop loading and extracting.\ +_This mission will be introduced with Liberation 6.0.0_ + +### Airlift (Transport) +An Airlift is a transport mission for a unit transfer and can be created from the Unit transfer dialog. It will also be automatically created for transfers if there is no other transport route (convoy, ship) available.

The flight will rendezvous with the rest of its package and proceed to its ingress point, where it will fire its weapons at the enemy naval group. AI flights targeting a group of ships may split their weapons across multiple ships. After firing, the flight will RTB.
