Awarded as the Airlines of the Year by ATW in 2017, the history of American Airlines dates back to 1930. The alliance of over 80 small airlines led to the development of the world’s third-largest airline. The first aeroplane flew from St. Louis, Missouri to Chicago for delivering mail. It was flown by Charles Lindbergh. In 2013, US Airways bought American Airlines and decided to keep its original name because of the airline’s popularity across the world.
