Worldwide number of airlines

I have been reading some really weird airline names here at FT and other travel blogs and was wondering how many commercial airlines are there around the world.

Is there a list somewhere, country by country?

There really is no way to know every single airline company in the world, as not every airline is a member of IATA, and the ICAO does not keep a centralized list.

...and many come and go in a very short period... or change names or merge with another (tiny) airline...

I'd rather draw the line at airlines with (multiple?) jet a/c, or substantial numbers of non-jet (like Pacific Coastal ..8P?)....

I am not really interested in lists cluttered up with remote area freight "airlines" whose assets are a single C206!
