Airline Company
|
|
From Wikipedia, the
free encyclopedia An airline
provides air transport services for passengers or freight, generally with a
recognized operating certificate or license. Airlines lease or own their
aircraft with which to supply these services and may form partnerships or
alliances with other airlines for mutual benefit.
Airlines vary from those with a single
airplane carrying mail or cargo, through full-service international airlines
operating hundreds of airplanes. Airline services can be categorized as
being intercontinental, intra continental, domestic, or international and
may be operated as scheduled services or charters.

DELAG, Deutsche
Luftschiffahrts-Aktiengesellschaft was the world's first airline.[citation
needed] It was founded on November 16, 1909 with government
assistance, and operated airships manufactured by The Zeppelin Corporation.
Its headquarters were in Frankfurt. (Note: Americans, such as Rufus Porter
and Frederick Marriott, attempted to start airlines in the mid-19th century,
focusing on the New York–California route. Those attempts foundered due to
such mishaps as the aircraft catching fire and the aircraft being ripped
apart by spectators.) The five oldest non-dirigible airlines that still
exist are Netherlands' KLM, Colombia's Avianca,Australia's Qantas, Czech
Republic's Czech Airlines and Mexico's Mexicana. KLM first flew in May 1920
while Qantas (for the Queensland and Northern Territory Aerial Services
Limited) was founded in Queensland, Australia in late 1920. |
