" One airline's flying generated over a billion dollars last year on just a single route. That's the conclusion of data from U.K. airline schedule company OAG, which began publishing airline schedule information in 1929 under the name the 'Official Aviation Guide Of The Airways.' They've published a new ranking of the top 10 airline routes by revenue, revealing that British Airways earned nearly $1.2 billion over the last year just flying between New York JFK and London Heathrow.
The importance of New York-London as a market can't be overstated. British Airways generated over a billion dollars flying between those airports from April 2018 and March 2019 and that's even after revenue declined for them about 10% year-over-year, according to OAG data. That total doesn't include their flying from Newark airport, either. " - Read Full Article
