@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. Regards,-Nizil (talk) 04:44, 12 October 2019 (UTC)
