2. Second busiest: Honolulu-Kahului. 6800 pax daily, Aloha and Hawaiian has 98% of market.
3. Third busiest: Boston-NYC. 6,500 daily. This is also the most profitable route at $0.60/mile. (The 15th most busiest route, New York - San Juan, is the least profitable ($0.092) among the top 25 busiest routes.)
4. On the average, US airlines has oldest planes (avg 12.1 years). Asia has the newest (6.6). Euro is 8.8.

How interesting. I was just shopping for a fare for NYC from LAX. And by being a very busy route I thought that I could find competitive rates. But then again, since they are probably 90% for business rates are kept pretty high.

ps. I think I need a "Arturonese" thesaurus.

management by mushrooms definition (sorry for an inadequate translation from german):
- let your people in the dark,
- daily distribute some "sh it",
- when they are grown up, cut their heads.

Thank you NJDavid for getting us back on topic (if only temporarily!)
Now if CO is reducing rates, I'm wondering if the other airlines will follow!
OMNI: This cat does not care about mushrooms or whatever else that's not travel related on this forum!
