....the oldest is:
1. KLM
Founding date: October 7, 1919
Country: Netherlands
Call sign: KL
With a tongue-twister like Koninklijke Luchtvaart Maatschappij for a name, no
wonder everyone shortens this airline’s name to KLM. The translation from Dutch
is the Royal Aviation Company, and it is the oldest existing airline in the
world. Its first flight ever was aboard a De Havilland DH-16 piloted by Captain
Jerry Shaw between Amsterdam Schipol and London in 1920, and its first
transatlantic flight took place in 1934 from Amsterdam to Curaçao. Today, the
airline has a fleet of 200 planes and carries over 30 million passengers per
year.
