GENERAL AVIATION HISTORY - AIRLINES

American aviation pioneers, such as Rufus Porter and Frederick Marriott, attempted to start airlines using airships in the mid-19th century, focusing on the New York – California route. Those attempts floundered due to rather infamous mishaps such as airships catching fire and aircrafts being ripped apart in front of spectators. Delag (Deutsche Luftschiffahrts-Aktiengesellschaft) was the world's first airline. It was founded on November 16, 1909 with government assistance. It operated airships manufactured by The Zeppelin Corporation. Its headquarters were in Frankfurt. The four oldest non-dirigible airlines that still exist are Netherlands' KLM, Colombia's Avianca, Australia's Qantas, and the Czech Republic's Czech Airlines. KLM first flew in May 1910, while Qantas (which stands for Queensland and Northern Territory Aerial Services Limited) was founded in Queensland, Australia, in late 1910.
