American Airways & American Airlines American Airways was formed in 1930 a result of the merger of 80-90 small airlines. In 1934 the airline was re-named American Airlines and became one of the largest airlines in the world. They were responsible for the DST, Douglas Sleeper Transport, which was a wider version of the DC-2 and was intended to replace the Curtiss Condor's sleeper service. After seven DST's were built the first version of the aircraft with 21 seats came off the production line designated the DC-3 and became one of the most important planes in airline history.
