On 6 April 1926, Varney Air Lines ? named after the company?s founder, Walter Varney ? launched its first mail flight from Pasco in the state of Washington, bound for Elko, Nevada. A year later, a certain William Boeing founded his own airline. Through acquisitions in the following years, the aircraft manufacturer took over ? or rather, merged ? several companies, including Varney Air Lines, under one umbrella and renamed Boeing Air Transport as United Aircraft & Transport Corporation. Finally, in 1931, the company name was shortened to United Air Lines. Since then, the airline has grown to become one of the largest in the world: with almost 1,100 aircraft ? not even including the fleet of its United Express subsidiary ? United operates the largest fleet of aircraft worldwide.
