Comco Boeing 757-200 CBR Gilbert-1
Comco is the '' de facto'' name of an American company operating two Boeing 757 aircraft.

They are often confused with the similarly secretive and sparsely marked Boeing C-32B Gatekeeper aircraft, modified 757s operated by the U.S. Air Force. The aircraft are painted white, and have either the word ''COMCO'' on the tail or stylized blue sweeps on the tail, fuselage, and engine cowling. The Federal Aviation Administration ( FAA) registry lists the owner of the aircraft as L-3 Capital, assumed to be a subsidiary of defense contractor L3Harris Technologies. When parked and unused, the aircraft have padlocks which seal each of the exits, a highly unusual modification for an aircr ...

Airlines use aircraft to supply these services and may form partnerships or alliances with other airlines for codeshare agreements, in which they both offer and operate the same flight. Generally, airline companies are recognized with an air operating certificate or license issued by a governmental aviation body. Airlines may be scheduled or charter operators. The first airline was the German airship company DELAG, founded on November 16, 1909. The four oldest non-airship airlines that still exist are the Netherlands' KLM (1919), Colombia's Avianca (1919), Australia's Qantas (1920) and the Russian Aeroflot (1923).

Since the 1980s, there has been a trend of major ai ...
