@Orygun: Thank you for submitting DYK. New, long enough, well cited, inline cited, neutral, hook interesting, hook long enough, QPQ done. Only one sentence is very close to its source: At its height, Evergreen operated a $1 billion fleet of more than 200 aircraft, operating in over 100 countries. Please reword it.
