Where Did All The Airlines Go?!
Manage episode 434477895 series 3592294
In 1985, more than 200 airlines provide scheduled passenger service on U.S. domestic routes under their own names and branding, and the country's airports are busy, crowded centers of activity.
But four decades later, only fifty airlines remain serving U.S. internal routes, and only fifteen of those operate airliners with 100 or more passenger seats.
This is the story of how the number of U.S. airlines soared by the early 1980s, then hit a 20-year period of intense consolidation - and we'll learn where all the airlines went!
