Comments on: Did You Know? Which Airlines ‘Dominate’ the Market? http://rickseaney.com/2008/07/22/did-you-know-which-airlines-dominate-the-market/ Fri, 21 Nov 2008 17:44:23 GMT http://wordpress.org/?v=wordpress-mu-1.2.4 By: Adamo Giovane http://rickseaney.com/2008/07/22/did-you-know-which-airlines-dominate-the-market/#comment-21026 Adamo Giovane Sat, 26 Jul 2008 08:42:53 +0000 http://rickseaney.com/2008/07/22/did-you-know-which-airlines-dominate-the-market/#comment-21026 Err you yanks are so typical. The 'market' isn't just the U.S. of A. Planes have been flying across oceans for a loooong time. So change the misleading 'patriotic' yankee focused title or else research the worldwide stats. BA, CX, QF, EK would be up there higher than those poor quality U.S. airlines. Err you yanks are so typical. The ‘market’ isn’t just the U.S. of A.

An airline that flies more non-stops probably flies less miles between origins and destinations. That airline also is fuel efficient, meaning there are less take-offs and landings between passenger origin and destination.

Since I'm assuming these are based on domestic miles flown (i.e. within the US only), It'll interesting to see with all of the cuts that will happen if AA, with a strong lead in miles flown this year, will still be ahead of WN. Or if DL overtakes UA at # 3 because they don't cut as much. I guess we'll have to wait.
