Ameriflight operation

Why is there no such operation in Europe?

Ameriflight succesfully operates 42 PA-31's under Part 135 as feeder freighters.

I keep wondering why anyone would hire a PA-31 to fly a 150NM leg with a tiny cargo when renting a truck is surely much cheaper.

Why are there no such operators in Europe? Purely the fact that there are more big airports in proimity of each other? Are the area's Ameriflight operates that remote even a truck can't reach them?

Just something that puzzles me
