Throughout the years we have been watching airlines and have updated you with the most important information about them, publication them in our articles accessible through this page?
Where is the airline business headed in 2010? We have watched new airlines being born, some of them have evolved and have even become regional leaders, while others have tumbled into insuccess and went bankrupt.
We are sharing details regarding airline travel under this section of our website. PlaneTicketsNow.com offers you a deep look at the carriers through dedicated sections to the most important ones in the World. Additionally we will also share interesting facts, such as statistics with you...

The World's biggest airlines in terms of passengers
Based on official figures published by IATA we have put together a list showing the top 10 airlines in the World in terms of passengers (as of 2008).
Note: we have included passenger carrier airlines only, taking account of nothing but the number of travelers transported
In 2009 Delta Airlines and NorthWest Airlines have decided to merge and form a "new" mega airline. The name of the "new" airline will be Delta. The NorthWest brand name and old heritage of almost a century will be lost. The new airline will be fully functional and will "wear" the Delta emblems in 2010. This will be the World's biggest airline in terms of passengers and in terms of fleet size as well.
The World's biggest airline fleets
We have taken a look at fleet sizes and have come up with this list of airlines. These are the biggest airline fleets in the World.
Note: the list above contains the total number of aircraft owned by each company, includes passenger, cargo and other types
This list changes more often than the list of airlines in terms of passenger numbers. Airlines retire older aircraft, often sell them, lease them and this reduces the numbers. At the same time new purchases take place, sometimes they rent, lease new aircraft that just temporarily enters the fleet, measures which increase the numbers. The low cost airlines are major purchasers or airliners.
IATA airline codes
IATA has designated codes for air carriers. You might see these codes on plane tickets or you might require them when searching for a flight.
