Hi!
Actually their are quite a few spread out through all the army lists:
Space marine and chaos -thunderhawk
Squats and Imperial guard- tunellers (netpeic rules make them worth taking)
Tyranids- harridan flyers (carries gargoyles)
Eldar- vampyre troop carrier
Orks- transport rokkit
So every race has effective ways of rapid deployment.
