The merger between Delta Air Lines and Northwest Airlines will create the world’s largest airline. And, we may see more mergers in the near future — Continental and United perhaps? I thought it would be interesting to see just how things are going to get shaken up by taking a look at the pre-merger airline traffic rankings. This list of Top 10 U.S. airline rankings is from January 2008 and is based on domestic and international scheduled enplanements. Combine Delta and Northwest’s numbers you’ll see how they’ll nab the top spot. Take a look at Continental and United, to see what a merger between those two airlines would mean. Now, let’s look at the list — just click “more”. |
