Thoughts?</font> WN is largest as far as domestic US passengers are concerned, but I'd guess AA still carries more passengers total. I think NW serves more US cities than anyone else, though I'm not sure if that's true anymore. Commuter traffic is an interesting question. Would you also include code-share traffic? Also what about seat-miles? And for revenue would you just include actual passenger operations, or would you also include loyalty programs, freight, catering, and other sources of revenue? |
