It was not a real airplane at all - the studio built 1/2 and 1/4 sized replicas of a Lockheed Electra 12A out of plywood and balsa wood, and had "little people" as the extras shown working on it in the background. If you look closely at the scene, you can tell.

"Because the film was made during WWII they were not allowed to film at an airport after dark for security reasons. Instead they used a sound stage with a small cardboard cutout airplane and forced perspective. To give the illusion that the plane was full-sized, they used little people to portray the crew preparing the plane for take-off. Years later the same technique was used in the film Alien (1979), with director Ridley Scott's son and some of his friends in scaled down spacesuits."

Don't know what type of plane it's supposed to be or which airline, but I have heard that it's actually a cardboard cutout as they couldn't afford a real plane.
