Product description
High-quality, precision-crafted model of the United Airlines Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner "100 Years".
On April 6, 1926, Varney Air Lines - named after the company's founder Walter Varney - took off on its first mail flight from Pasco, Washington, to Elko, Nevada. A year later, a certain William Boeing founded his own airline. Through acquisitions in the following years, the manufacturer took over - or rather united - several companies, including Varney Air Lines, under one roof and renamed its Boeing Air Transport company the United Aircraft & Transport Corporation. Finally, in 1931, the company's name was shortened to United Air Lines. Since then, the airline has grown to be one of the largest in the world: With almost 1,100 aircraft - not counting the United Express feeder fleet - United operates the largest fleet of aircraft in the world.
