KLM
KLM is the oldest operational airline in the world at 102 (though British Airways argues that its roots go back further). With a sky-blue livery, KLM acts as the flag carrier of the Netherlands, operating out of its base at Amsterdam Schiphol Airport. KLM was a founding member of the SkyTeam alliance, and is part of the Air France-KLM Group. (Featured image: Vincenzo Pace - Simple Flying)
