Question: I want the inside on how the commercial air industry
works! How is the market for a commercial air route determined?
<br /><br /> I'm curious, how does an airline determine their
routes? I flew from Tampa to Los Angeles in June, a non-stop
flight at just over 5 hours and is only offered once a day in
both directions, and it got me wondering.<br> <br> What's the
market for that? My flight was pretty full. From the business
side of things, how do they determine their destinations?
Obviously not every airline flies everywhere in the US, and
often times only 1-2 airlines will get you to where you want to
go without any connections.<br> <br> I'm just interested in
knowing how the commercial air industry works in this
regard.,2012:site.227238 Mon, 22 Oct 2012 16:23:11 -08
