Unless you live in an extremely remote place not served by roads. The arctic for example. It's not technically commuting as in going to and from your 9 to 5, but plenty of small northern communities are still completely dependent on small gravel runways or even bushplanes for things like going to the doctor or dentist, or really anything they need to go to a city for, which is a lot of things.

I actually thought this was a similar situation, that they're so out in the middle of nowhere flying is significantly more convenient than driving. But then I took a look at the map and realized that they're not far from Chicago and are within easy driving distance from nearby smaller towns, which makes this way harder to justify though still mildly interesting.
