QF feed at LAX
It it rare to find much data about airline feeds, but I recently came across one stat (issued by AA): QF feed caused an increase of 100% in pax traffic for LAX-DEN-LAX on AA over a 2 year period. Note that DEN and LAX are UA hubs, so O/D traffic would tend to heavily favour UA over AA, making this a bit of a stilted example. But it does show how airline alliances can provide a lot of the traffic on a certain route. Presumably AA and QF closely track these kinds of feeds and use it to project route profitability.
It would be fascinating to see the corresponding stats for LHR; I'm sure there is lots of onward travel (mostly on BA in this case).
