Airlines are companies that provide air transportation services for passengers and freight. The majority of airlines are used for transporting passengers and important goods. The number of airlines’ fleets is determined by passenger demand, and because the United States is the largest and richest country, most civilians and travelers connect places via planes, so the top four largest airlines are from the United States: Delta Airlines, SkyWest, Southwest Airlines, and United Airlines. The largest airlines based on total airline fleet size.
