Ahead of this year's Routes Americas forum, Routesonline is providing a snapshot on the leading airlines and airports and most used aircraft types across the region. Here we look closely at the airlines serving the Caribbean and highlight the region's top performers.
We took a look at the top 20 airlines in the world by operating carrier, analysing the network capacity in December 2013 against the same month this year.
United States domestic air travellers could face a summer of higher fares thanks to a reduction in airline capacity exacerbated by the US government’s American Airlines - US Airways merger settlement, claims aviation intelligence provider, OAG.
American Airlines will offer a three times weekly link between New York and Viracopos from December 1, 2014 and a daily link between Miami and Viracopos from December 2, 2014, subject to government approval, complementing its existing flights from both US destinations to Sao Paulo Guarulhos International Airport.
The new routes from across the American Airlines and US Airways hubs, includes service to five destinations in the Midwest, including Bismarck, North Dakota, a new destination for the combined carrier.
Following its merger with US Airways, the new American Airlines is set to become the single largest US carrier domestically and internationally, but is likely to marginally reduce capacity and seek yield improvement, according to OAG, a leading provider of aviation intelligence.
