chrisruzin.net :: World’s Biggest Airlines (September 18, 2003)

THE BEST AIRLINES FROM THESE ARE DELTA,AIRFRANCE,
BRITISH AIRWAYS,UNITED AIRLINES, AND THE LUFTHANSA!!!. AND THE BRITISH AIRWAYS AND THE AIRFRANCE ARE THE MOST EXPENSIVE AIRLINES!! To travel on them the price is 2.000 and up!!!!!!!!!!!!!WOW!!!!

I think KLM should be higher up as they are so ace+I hate that all the american airlines are at the top, they are rubbish and there is to many of them.

Well you obviously don’t know how to read a graph…doesn’t matter if KLM, in your opinion, is better. The rating goes by passenger and distance status…not by a vote of your preference you mort!

I’m not at all surprised that the us airlines are at the top. to be honest id rather fly with them than any others, especially KLM.

Your all stupid Air Canda, and Alitalia should be at the top!
It's Oviose that Air Canada Sould be on top

K…considering you also cannot read the graph, your probably going by preference. And since i work for your precious Air Canada…let me tell you, their crap! Extremely so.

Ofcourse I wont, because as i’ve stated…working for them and answering to enraged clients…i know that AC is crap.

plzzzz send pics of all the international air lines

Look, you have to understand that i am a true Canadian, and i know what shold be right. Who do you think conducted the Survay? 3 letters U,S,A. think about it AA, United, Delta, and North West. Have any Guesses?

well i think Lufthansa is the best and KLM is the worst as it is not doing anything good and now it has been sold to AirFrance.

Look, i’m knew here, but i’ve been making notes and well Sin, your just a guy that likes to be right. You should try letting other people have the spot light. Sorry But Alitalia Rules. I’ve been on a Quantis Flight and it was OK. the worst flight i’ve ever been on was and American Airlines flight the service was crap. i will never step on an American Airlines Plane Again!

very interesting how you can fight over which airline is better. The chart is outdated. It’s from 2002, now it’s 2007. Also i think that South African Airways might be there because they are getting quite large.

My personal opinon on which airline is the best is South African. There first and buisness class both have fold out seat beds and economy is typical. Their service is great and they have really good food. Also they are still pretty cheap since they’re one of the newer airlines.

how do you get that avatar symbol?

ok, thanks and KLM was created in Denmark or in Holland?

1st would be british airways then it would be klm then qautas next lufthansa then jal air france then contanental iv thats how you spell it american then united and delta and then last north west.

i have flown on jal, american, united, northwest, delta, continental, qantas, and klm.. personally i think the only good ones are jal & northwest bcuz on jal they are vry sincere in their service

the best airlines i think are aloha, hawaiian, southwest, emirates, and pan am

I think its high time that the chart was translated correctly, as few above seem to have understood. (Félicitations à ceux entre vous qui l’a bien compris!) It is not a count of the worlds largest airlines, as the person who posted it suggests. It is a count of passengers transported in the year 2002 multilpied by how far they are travelling. Of course a contry like the US with a huge population travelling over a huge landmass will thus, rank highly up. In effect, the chart shows nothing when it comes to quality, standards or even the size of an airlines fleet. Think about it, when the americans wish to travel internationally, they are going to have to travel further than most other nations. Should a Brit wish to hope over to another to Paris, its nowhere near the distance as passenger who travels from NYC. So, smaller distance, equals a smaller plane. (You’d never see a 747 crossing the Channel!) But that doesn’t mean that LESS people wish to make the journey, so there needs to be a higher frequency of flights doing the small voyage. Hence, a greater fleet of smaller craft are needed. The chart in essence is useless when it comes to means of determing airlines size globally. Some personal comments, Lufthansa are rather good But I guess the patriotism in me will always head to the BA website

What it does show, finally is that the Americans are broadening their horizons and getting to know the world a bit – but as a Londoner living in Paris, if the Yanks are going to insist on pronouncing “Les Shomps-Elysées” …. guys, un tuyau (tip) … its said Champ-ce-Ely-zay….not “Champs-Elie-zayse”.
