Remove ads

This is a list of airlines by foundation date of the company. The list includes airlines founded before December 31, 1930.

Rows with a light-green background indicate the earliest predecessor company of an airline that is still operating as a parent company or a subsidiary company (many modern airline holding companies operate more than one airline). Of the airlines still operating, predecessor companies of Air France were the first to begin passenger operations in 1913,[1] and international passenger operations in 1919;[2][3] and KLM is the oldest airline still operating under its original name, under which it was established in 1919.[4][5]

The date of the first airline service may differ from the foundation date of the company.
