United Airlines
United Airlines has been flying for nine decades. The founding member of Star Alliance serves six continents with its fleet of over 800 aircraft, but the Chicago-based carrier hasn’t always been the powerhouse that it is today. With roots in other aviation outfits, the company developed from a mail carrier to one of the world’s largest passenger airlines. (Featured image: Vincenzo Pace - Simple Flying)
