United Airlines

Through nearly seven decades United Airlines has steadily built itself up into the largest United States carrier and the second largest aviation business in the world. The company's origins go right back to 1926 when brave young pilots flew open-cockpit biplanes across the near-empty skies to deliver the US mail. Times have changed beyond the wildest speculations of those pioneer aviators: the same skies are now studded with aircraft of all descriptions — many of them belonging to United Airlines. The company grew from humble beginnings after merging four pioneering US carriers — Boeing Air Transport, National Air Transport, Pacific Air Transport and Varney Air Lines, until it became the vast business that today flies nearly nine million travellers on 70,000 international flights each year. Yet, surprisingly, this huge company did not fly outside the :ontinent of North America until as recently as 1983 when it was at last granted a transpacific licence to fly to Tokyo. From there its market has expanded out to the Pacific rim to encompass the ever-expanding Asiatic economies, and in the opposite direction across the Atlantic to tap the lucrative markets that western Europe offers. South America is also now on the United network, leaving only Africa and the former Soviet Union states as gaps on its globe.
