Started Ops With Two DC-8s In 1988
The anniversary passed quietly on Friday, as media attention was
fixed on the Super Bowl. But in Louisville, KY, the 20th
anniversary of UPS Airlines is a pretty big deal. Starting in 1988
with two DC-8s -- which remain in service -- UPS is now the
ninth-largest airline in the world, with 268 aircraft and 3,000
pilots. And it's still growing.
