"Commercial" in this context is related to "commerce" or the buying and selling of goods. "Commercial" can be used to describe anything that involves commerce on a very large scale. So a "commercial flight" is a flight that can be hired by many people for airline transportation. Ex: I work on a commercial fishing boat. Ex: These cows are not for show; they are commercial cattle raised for beef.
