Although the Wright brothers built the first motorized heavier-than-air machine in 1903 It was Sikorsky (of later helicopter fame) who in 1913 was the first to design and build the first airplane specifically designed for passenger travel, the Ylia Muromets, also known as the Sikorsky S-22. It could take 16 passengers, had electric heating and an on-board toilet.
The US came later: the first paying passenger is recorded to have flown in 1914. This was however not on a 'passenger plane' but on a two-seater Benoist XIV.
