The Oldest Boeing Passenger Jet In Active Service Has Been Flying For Over 45 Years
American aeronautical juggernaut Boeing has been a hot topic lately, though perhaps not for the best reasons. A couple of deadly 737 Max crashes in just five months spanning 2018 and 2019 has that effect, though. That's not to mention the infamous 2024 Alaska Airlines flight during which an emergency exit door plug ejected itself due to missing bolts. And now, Boeing's latest narrow-body products, the 737 Max 7 and Max 10, are struggling to get certified for use by the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration. That's forcing some customers like United Airlines to switch their orders to older 737 Max models instead. However, before the recent Max iterations became a thorn in Boeing's side, the 737 was widely regarded as a durable, reliable workhouse for commercial airline fleets. Since it first took to the skies in 1967, Boeing has delivered 12,134 of the popular jets as of June 2025. That makes the 737 the most-sold commercial jet ever, although Airbus' A320 family could steal that title in the very near future, even with the A320's mysterious barking noise. Based on our research, none of the very earliest Boeing 737 airframes from the late 1960s are still in mainstream passenger-carrying commercial service. However, the Venezuelan airline Venezolana still operates tail number YV3471 on regularly scheduled domestic routes. That 737-200 was built in 1978, which makes it over 45 years old. Read more: Call Me A Luddite, But These Modern Features Only Seem To Make Cars Worse It Was Almost Lost Forever Venezolana's most vintage Boeing 737 started life flying for Frontier Airlines, which is striking because the Frontier we know today has an all-Airbus fleet. However, the original Frontier Airlines filed for bankruptcy and was absorbed by Continental Airlines in 1986. The current Frontier Airlines that, like so many, charges fees for just about everything except using the lavatory (we shouldn't give them any ideas) was formed in 1994 and is related to the original airline in name only. In 1985, just before the original Frontier ceased to exist, it sold the 737 to United airlines, which flew it outfit until 2001. At that point, it seemed like the end of the line for the venerable jet, which is old enough to predate the signature flat-bottom engine casings designed to accommodate larger turbofans during the 1980s. The plane was stored in the California desert for a decade before Venezolana rescued it from obscurity and brought it back to service in 2011. According to a 2024 YouTube video from Noel Philips, an aviation fan who traveled on the jet, it's definitely beginning to show its age, with visible wear on the seats, windows, and overhead lights and air vents. While the interior could easily be refreshed, a lack of spare parts could spell the end of this survivor sooner than later. The 737-200 Can Land On Gravel As of May 2024, the three largest U.S.-based airlines — American, Delta, and United — had fleets with average ages between 13.4 and 16.3 years. By those standards, Venezolana's vintage Boeing 737 is ancient. It was the 512th of its type to be produced, and remarkably, there are older 737 airframes still in service. But they're in charter or cargo roles, which aren't technically regularly scheduled commercial flights. In particular, 13 out of the world's 30 oldest jets ply their trade in our neighbor to the north, Canada, and some are as old as 52 years. Air Inuit is a major charter operator of the vintage Boeing 727-200, mostly because it's well suited to landing on unimproved gravel runways in remote Canadian villages. Unlike other jet aircraft, the older 737 is able to be fitted with a special "gravel kit" to protect critical components from flying rocks. Three of Air Inuit's jets are divided internally to hold both passengers and freight. Similar to Air Inuit, Canada's Nolinor Aviation operates nine of the aging, fuel-thirsty 737-200 jets, sending them to remote mining operations. While the company acknowledges that propeller-driven aircraft are also an option, they're much slower than the Boeing jets. Boarding a jet aircraft that's older than you might make some passengers nervous — but then again, so does the latest whiz-bang 737 Max. Want more like this?

Barclays exits Net-Zero Banking Alliance, follows HSBC
This story was originally published on ESG Dive. To receive daily news and insights, subscribe to our free daily ESG Dive newsletter. Dive Brief: Barclays is withdrawing from the United Nations-backed Net-Zero Banking Alliance, a sector coalition whose members have committed to aligning their financial activities with the aim of reaching net-zero emissions by 2050. The British bank announced its exit Friday and pointed to the financial sector's retreat from the climate group in its statement. 'With the departure of most of the global banks, the organization no longer has the membership to support our transition,' Barclays said. Barclays is the latest financial institution to quit NZBA, following in the footsteps of rival bank HSBC, which departed the group last month. The departures trail behind U.S.-based banks' exodus from NZBA and other climate-focused alliances, spurred in part by new federal leadership and ongoing scrutiny from the Republican party. Dive Insight: Barclays said it would remain committed to its sustainability goals, including a target to reach net-zero emissions by 2050. The bank reiterated that its commitment to allocating $1 trillion in sustainable and transition financing by 2030 remains 'unchanged.' 'We continue to work with our clients on their transition, finance the transition and scale climate tech, while helping to ensure energy security for our customers and clients,' Barclays said. The departure from NZBA comes just a few days after the bank shared it had generated 500 million pounds (over $663 million) in revenue in 2024 from sustainable and low-carbon transition related activities. Earlier in June, Barclays announced that its climate investment arm had enabled 508 million pounds (nearly $687 million) in investments focused on climate technology and innovation since 2020. However, a recent report from a coalition of climate organizations found that Barclays was the biggest financier of fossil fuels in Europe last year, boosting its funding for related operations by over 55% to $35.4 billion. The report backed by the Rainforest Alliance Network, Sierra Club and Reclaim Finance also counted Barclays as one of four banks — alongside JPMorgan Chase, Bank of America and Citigroup — that increased its fossil fuel financing by over $12 billion from 2023 to 2024. The U.K.-based responsible investment NGO ShareAction called Barclay's decision to depart NZBA 'incredibly disappointing,' in an emailed statement sent to ESG Dive. The organization's Co-Director of Corporate Engagement Jeanne Martin said the bank took a 'step in the wrong direction at a time when the dangers of climate change are rapidly mounting.' 'The announcement comes just three days after Barclays published a transition update reiterating its commitment to be a net zero bank by 2050, sending mixed signals to governments and companies around the world,' Martin added.

Would You Ride in a Flying Car? This Company Could Make It a Reality (and Yes, It's Publicly Traded).
Key Points Joby Aviation has developed an aircraft that's similar to a flying car. The company appears to be close to launching its first air taxi service. Joby could have tremendous growth prospects, but investing in the stock is risky. 10 stocks we like better than Joby Aviation › The invention of the wheel and the domestication of horses revolutionized human transportation roughly 5,500 years ago. Sailing vessels were first used around the same time. Progress slowed until the steamboat was invented in 1807. Within a century, people were traveling aboard trains, planes, and automobiles. Those three modes of transportation remain the most widely used today. However, the next leap forward could be right around the corner. Would you ride in a flying car? One company could make it a reality -- and yes, it's publicly traded. Meet George Jetson? In the 1960s animated TV show The Jetsons, George Jetson flew to work every day in a flying car. Along the way, he dropped his kids, Elroy and Judy, off at school, and his wife, Jane, at a shopping center. The Jetsons was set in 2062, less than 40 years from now. However, a version of George Jetson's flying car is already soaring through the skies. JoeBen Bevirt founded Joby in 2005 to develop consumer products. He had previously co-founded robotic laboratory systems developer Velocity11 before selling it to Agilent Technologies. In 2009, Bevirt created Joby Aviation (NYSE: JOBY) to push the boundaries of aviation. By 2012, Joby Aviation was selected by NASA to work on electric flight projects. Within three years, an early prototype of the company's electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) aircraft flew for the first time. In 2019, Toyota invested in Joby and assigned engineers to help the company develop manufacturing operations for its aircraft. Joby's aircraft could be aptly described as a flying car, albeit one that's different from the one seen on The Jetsons. It's powered by six electric motors that are as quiet as a mouse. One pilot and four passengers can zip through the skies at speeds up to 200 miles per hour. Joby says that flying in its aircraft "might feel more like getting into an SUV than boarding a plane." Building a business Instead of targeting individuals, Joby Aviation decided early on to go after the air taxi market. In 2019, the company partnered with Uber Technologies. That relationship deepened the following year, with Uber investing in Joby, while Joby acquired Uber's Elevate division. Joby has made significant progress toward building a full-fledged aerial ride-sharing service business. The company hopes to begin transporting its first air taxi passengers in Dubai next year. What about in the U.S.? Joby has fully completed stages one and three of the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration's (FAA) certification process. The company is 97% finished with stage two and 62% through its part of the stage four process. The primary remaining effort required is stage five -- showing and verifying the airworthiness of its fleet. When Joby is fully FAA certified, look for rapid commercialization. The company inked a deal with Delta Airlines in 2022 to provide home-to-airport transportation for Delta customers, starting in New York and Los Angeles. Delta also owns a 49% stake in Virgin Atlantic, which teamed up with Joby earlier this year to launch an air taxi service in the U.K. Is this futuristic stock a smart pick to buy? Joby Aviation's stock is sizzling hot, more than doubling so far this year. Is this futuristic stock a smart pick to buy now? Maybe. On the positive side, Joby has tremendous potential. The company seems to be getting close to the point where it can generate revenue. It also has an impressive lineup of partners, including Toyota, Uber, Delta, and Virgin Atlantic. However, Joby remains unprofitable. With no real revenue or earnings (and no reliable price-to-sales or price-to-earnings multiples), it's next to impossible to value the company with any level of confidence. Joby also faces competition from rivals pursuing the air taxi market, such as Archer Aviation, and others going after the personal eVTOL market, such as Jetson One (yes, it's named after The Jetsons). Joby Aviation is the kind of stock that could be a huge winner over the next decade -- or a big flop. However, one thing seems clear: Another major revolution in transportation could be on the horizon. Should you buy stock in Joby Aviation right now?
