I am just thinking of some grammatical aspects how to express some ideas/things in English. So how can I change the sentence to make it correct?

It has flown in Greek airlines or It has flown for Greek airlines for a couple of years?

Pilots fly for airlines.

Airliners, airplanes and jet planes are in the airlines' fleets.
