Would you like another interesting fact about KLM? The King of the Netherlands is a registered KLM pilot, and when not undertaking Royal duties, flies for KLM.

KLM stands for Koninglijke Luchtvaart Maatschappij, which roughly means the Royal Aviation Company. You can understand why they abbreviated it.

Nice video! As I already said, this channel deserves waaaaaaaaaay more attention!

Congratulations for Avianca, the pride of Colombia.👍✈🛩🛫

Incredible video, as always !

Cool. At least I know a little about the aviation industry even though I'm not involved in it. Great content bro!!

What is missing is that in 1934 KLM won the De MacRobertson London - Melbourne air race. A regular airliner that carried mail and passengers and came 1st in its category and 2nd in the overall classification. A world achievement among the many fast planes specially prepared for this race.

It’s pronounced “Ah-ve-ah-ka” - the letter “A” in Spanish always receives an “Ah” sound never an “Aye” sound. AV merged with TACA, also a long and storied airline, early the past decade and the combined airline now has hubs in Bogotá Colombia, San Salvador El Salvador, and large operations throughout Central America and South America.

Garuda was founded in 1947 by the owner of KLM. Before Named Garuda the company name is KLM-IIB or KLM Island to Island Company but since the Round table in 1949 KLM-IIB is lead to Republic of Indonesia and named Indonesian Airways. Using the 1st DC-3 that named _Seulawah_ by Friends and Family of Aceh Northwest of Sumatra. Since Indonesian Airways named little bit not correct so they change it into Garuda Indonesian Airways (GIA) and then it raised by the Goverment of Indonesian the 1st livery is since 1949 - end 1949 as a blank stainless steel with RI 001 on the tail, the 2nd Livery is since 1949 end - 1970 as the Flag of Republic of Indonesian, but there is tragic that that years 5 plane crash but remain unknown models of the plane, 3rd Livery's is in 1970 - 1980 as the modern of Indonesian, there is 3 more crash and the same thing is remain unknown and the 4th livery's is when Garuda is now a new and off from Indonesian but still an Indonesian Airlines since 1980 - 2009 and that count 12 crash one of the crash is MD 10/11 in Japan because false warning engine number 1 is failed in 1996, 1 years later Garuda A300 model crash in Sumatra cause if Inccorect turn and decending fast, and 6 years later a boeing 737 300 land in shallow river in Surakarta, Solo because engine failure when try to avoid storm in Yogyakarta when try to land in Yogyakarta Airport, 5 years later a boeing 737 400 crash in Yogyakarta because low experince of pilot in bumpy ride land. and in 2009 the 5th livery's as known the Garuda Himself with blue feather on the tail and blank white with name Garuda Indonesia and Garuda Logo on it. in 2014 10 years after KLM in Skyteam, KLM-IIB/Garuda joined the Skyteam 2nd best Airlines group company. and thats the story how Garuda was Found. and now is the 80th Aniversary of Garuda. KLM-IIB GIA Airlines of Indonesian

Oh the 747-400ER "Longreach" The Qantas old gal named after the town in Queensland where the airline was founded. Initially it was a mail carrier service. That aircraft in its Big Red Roo livery is a beautiful sight. Much prettier aircraft than the A380. It always has special meaning to me, I am either going on an adventure to some far flung corner of the globe, or, She is bringing me home.

Fantastic video!

Great video thanks for sharing

I love watching these type of vids about aviation industry ❤️😍👌🏾

LOT Polish Airlines is only 1 year younger than 10th place airline, but airline that transformed into LOT was founded in 1922.

Hi. Thanks for the video

LOVE THE THUMBNAIL!!!

Well Keep it up Buddy 👍

Southwest Airlines is a old one too. Also awesome vid

November 1909 gründete Ferdinand Graf von Zeppelin in Frankfurt am Main die erste Luftfahrtgesellschaft der Welt: die „DELAG“ („Deutsche Luftschifffahrt-Aktiengesellschaft“), die zwischen 1910 und 1913 etwa 34.000 Passagiere transportierte. November 1909, Ferdinand Graf von Zeppelin founded the first airline in the world in Frankfurt am Main: "DELAG" ("Deutsche Luftschifffahrt-Aktiengesellschaft"), which transported around 34,000 passengers between 1910 and 1913.

Surprised Qantas is not in 1st. I'm glad I live in Australia and always fly Qantas everytime

Qantas 👍

The butchered Spanish for Avianca crushed my non existent soul

i respect how jet2 is always on the tail but i dint see tui

I was so excited and proud when Finnair showed up on the list

:o my airline is the oldest

How do you have 3K subs you deserve at least 70 million

Talking about the airlines founded in the years immediately after 1927, as we read in many of the comments, one should also mention Cubana de Aviación (1929).

Good

The company that today uses the name “Delta” dates back to the founding of Northwest Airways in 1926.

OMG you only have 5k subs you need something like 5 million!

cool

And EgyptAir was the second in Africa that was founded on June 7, 1932 - 89 years ago (in the name of EgyptAir)

I think you’ll find that Serbia is just part of the old Jugoslavia. There are also Croatia, Kosovo, Moldavia and other states which were once parts of it. I’ve had the privilege of travelling extensively in Europe prior to COVID and always looked forward to flights with KLM.

The Peruvian airlines mentioned in the Delta segment became Pangara (long name Pan American Grace Airways) and operated exclusively along the western part of South America.

You did not include South African Airways, also commenced operations in the early twenties. Although now in much financial difficulties exacerbated by covid

Qantas is still the safest airline in the world

I only travel overseas or interstate with QANTAS. They have the best service and the best safety record of any airline in the world. I'm very surprised that QANTAS was not No. 1. DM.

5:20 I am from Czech Republic, but i have not flown with Czech Airlines but with their owner's Smartwings.

To me the most incredible is Aeroflot - the irony seeing the Soviet Hammer and Sickle painted on a Boeing 777...

Philippine Airlines is the oldest airline in Asia, though you forgot to include it in this video

The oldest airline is DELAG in 1909 by the german empire. Its fleet was only zeppelins and dissapeared in 1915

Any video on concord services

Hello pls add air india it is the oldest airlines since 1916 June pls add it. It started as tata airlines

KLM for ever.

Mexicana de aviacion founden in 1921 ....✈(R.I.P)

Make a video with EL aL

I love a klm model with gear

I'm going to guess the oldest of an operation is Pam am

The only two airlines in this video that have actually operated under the same name for more than a hudred years ar KLM and Qantas....

Bruh he said qantas, Australia and Queensland, it ok, most poeple don't get it right

Garuda Indonesia est 26 Jan 1949

Джанкерс :)))

9:57 I actually flew on that plane on my birthday back at 2017 - the plane was brand new!

Don't want to sound like the Grammar Police, but you mispronounced 'German Junkers' several times in the video. It's actually pronounced like 'Young-kers" Just FYI. "J" in German is pronounced like "y" in English. But I like the content

There is a third founder for QANTAS to!

Most of these list are comes from Europe and the Americas but not in Asia, because the oldest airline in Asia was no other than, Philippine Airlines 😊😊 Philippine Airlines started as Philippine Aerial Taxi Company which is founded in 1931 and the first flight service was from Manila to Baguio and Manila to Paracale and it was dissolved in 1939 due to financial constraints Philippine Airlines was formed in February 1941 and first flight in service was in March 1941 but didn’t last long because of World War 2 and during the war, PAL was used as a military transport for food and troops for the war and it was restored after the liberation In 1946, PAL has many firsts because while KLM has a oldest flight route used by European planes from Amsterdam to Jakarta, PAL’s flight from Manila to San Francisco was the oldest flight route used by Asian airlines and the first Asian airline to cross the Pacific Ocean In 1947, PAL was the first flight to Europe and in 1951, the airline has routes to the friendly country of Indonesia from Manila to Jakarta As a result, Philippine Airlines and Garuda Indonesia are considered as Grandparents of Asia’s Aviation and they became code sharing partners

QANTAS “the flying kangaroo” 🕊🦘

Content-wise this video is highly interesting even for me that have served 35 years in the civil aviation industry with three airlines in 4 countries. Regrettably, the names of the airlines have been butchered. Iberia and Avianca as examples. Please get you pronunciations right if you tend to produce more such documentaries about the industry.

QANTAS was inaugurated in 1919, not 1920

But how is Delta airlines older than the 3 airlines that began in 1927 when it was born in 1928?

How about Philippine airline?

Umm. Hawaiian Airlines 1927? We are Australian but use Hawaiian for holiday travel. My husband's job takes him all over our country regularly so when we travel for fun we like a change. Both great airlines.

4:23 that’s why he’s da goat da goat But why spelled incorrectly 💀
