From some of the leading airlines of the world to some of the unknown airlines, the writer of awalkintheworld.com will take you to a world of airlines. Enjoy some of the most beautiful livery and know information of them through this photo story of airline(s). I love to travel a lot! My thirst for traveling took me to 40 countries in this world. In this process, I visited 77 airports and took 193 flights. I spent a significant amount of time in airports looking at the airplanes. This airline in photos story is a depiction of some of the pictures of the planes I captured during my travel journey. I took all the photos below myself, some of them were taken through glasses, and some of them were taken while I was boarding. Even, some of them were taken in spite of threats from the security forces – I don’t understand, why someone would become angry for taking photos of a plane. Nevertheless, in spite of having some glares, low resolutions, and obstacles, these photos of the airline are full of colors, and each of them is uniquely beautiful.
