How would you create a new automated transport method?

Adding new vehicles doesn't seem hard. But what if you want some kind of station like a train station, but for a different vehicle type that doesn't use train routing at all? Is this possible to do at all with modding?

I was thinking, in particular, of the cargo plane from the Aircraft mod. It might be nice to use it as a very fast, but also very energy intensive form of transport that couldn't carry as much as a train, but had more flexibility. But, it would need fixed places to land and wait for conditions, like a train station.

I would say no... in that there's no real base support for it.

however, I've seen some people do interesting things with scripting.
