Qantas—95 years old

At top is the Qantas office in 1921, one year after the Queensland and Northern Territory Aerial Services Ltd. was formed in the years after World War I to serve the vast reaches of the Outback. The Qantas fleet consisted of two biplanes, an Avro 504K and a BE2E.

By April 1935, Qantas operated Australia’s first international passenger flight from Brisbane to Singapore, carrying two paying customers on a DH86 aircraft.

Eight decades later Qantas passengers enjoy an international network that services every continent, spanning a network of more than 250 destinations in over 60 countries.
