The Oldest Airlines in the World That Are Still Flying Today
....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. ....for the rest, go he http://www.msn.com/en-us/travel/arti...nb7Kz#image=14 *
