American Airlines
The world's largest airline by fleet size, and they want you to know it. American went through bankruptcy, a merger with US Airways, and a complete rebrand — and came out the other side still flying the most metal in the sky.
American Airlines saved $40,000 in 1987 by removing one olive from each salad served in first class.
