Airlines Established In 2002
An airline is a company that provides air transport services for traveling passengers or freight (cargo). 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). Airline ownership has seen a shift from mostly personal ownership until the 1930s to government-ownership of major airlines from the 1940s to 1980s and back to large-scale privatization following the mid-1980s. Since the 1980s, there has been a trend of major a ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

The Conroy Skymonster (CL-44-0) was a 1960s United States specialized cargo aircraft based on the Canadair CL-44 freighter, with an outsize fuselage. It was a follow-on by the designer of the Aero Spacelines Guppy series of aircraft. Design and development John M. Conroy had earlier been the founder of Aero Spacelines, which had created the Guppy series of aircraft designed to carry outsize cargo based on the C-97 platform, which were instrumental in the Apollo Program. The Skymonster was the same general concept, but based on the Canadair CL-44 platform. The aircraft was designed as a transport aircraft that could be used to ferry three Rolls-Royce RB.211 jet engines from Belfast, Northern Ireland, to Palmdale, California, United States. The engines were to be installed on the Lockheed L-1011 TriStar airliner. In 1969 Conroy and the CL-44-0 lost a bidding contest for RB.211 transport to Saturn Airways flying the Lockheed L-100-30 Hercules (civilian version of the C-130) ...
