Here is my custom arrayadapter code:

@Override
        public View getView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) {
            // TODO Auto-generated method stub
            View view = convertView;

            if (view == null) {
                LayoutInflater inflater = (LayoutInflater) getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);
                inflater.inflate(R.layout.airline_item, null);
            }

            //It crashes at this line
            ImageView img = (ImageView) view.findViewById(R.id.imgAirline);


            TextView tview = (TextView) view.findViewById(R.id.tvAirline);
            tview.setText(lines[position].toString());


            return view;
        }

And my airline_item.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content" >

    <ImageView
        android:id="@+id/imgAirline"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:src="@drawable/logo" />

    <TextView
        android:id="@+id/tvAirline"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_gravity="center_vertical"
        android:text="Medium Text"
        android:layout_marginLeft="20dip"
        android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceMedium" />

</LinearLayout>

I really don't understand what the problem is. Any help is appreciated.

You are inflating a layout, but not into any View. This is how your inflate should work:

if (view == null) {
    LayoutInflater inflater = (LayoutInflater) getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);
    view = inflater.inflate(R.layout.airline_item, null);
}
