Airlines

Airlines were extremely important in developing the airmail industry as the major airmail routes around the world depended greatly on the routes the airlines flew. The system of contract air-mail was introduced in which airlines helped deliver mail on a scheduled basis once they were awarded the contract and rights by the respective postal authority.
