Turkish Airlines

Turkey is not in Europe? Interesting... --83.228.95.46 11:55, 30 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Turkish Airlines main base is located on the European side of the Bosphorus, should be in Europe. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.111.149.194 (talk) 12:08, 28 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

What is difference between Turkey and Russia? Russia is in European list, but Turkey in Asian? --83.228.95.46 12:35, 30 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

According to a press release from Turkish Airlines (http://www.thy.com/en-INT/corporate/news/press_room/press_releases/press_release.aspx?pid=1523) the number of passengers carried in 2006 was 17 mio. The figure of 9 mio that appears on this page is several years old. This page needs to be updated with the correct information. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Yucina (talk • contribs) 11:52, 2 October 2007 (UTC) The Turkish Airlines article also mentions the figure of 17 mio for 2006. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Yucina (talk • contribs) 12:28, 2 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Air France

Accordding to Air France traffic data it carried 58.1m passengers in 2008 and 57.6m in 2007

Please check the dec 2008 traffic data —Preceding unsigned comment added by 139.149.1.231 (talk) 17:12, 28 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Air France-KLM

The article says that AF/KLM did not have even 30 million passangers in 2009. Accoring to Air France-KLM's wikipedia article, they had more than 70 million! What the fuck!?

Missing airlines

Let's create the list of missing airlines. --195.110.6.24 (talk) 09:07, 3 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Pegasus Airlines - 4,4 million (2008) [1]
SunExpress - 4,22 million (2008) [2], 2.358 million (2006)

Senseless

It's totally senseless to list KLMs or Austrian's passengers seperated as they are already included in Air France's and Lufthansa's passengers numbers. Furthermore, in terms of passengers, Austrian and Swiss and BMI etc. are included in "Lufthansa", but when it comes to fleet size only Lufthansa Passage Airline's aircraft are listed! Change this IMMEDIATELY! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 62.178.35.109 (talk) 23:53, 8 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The list must be based on IATA or ICAO code. Even may be created 2 different lists. --193.107.114.144 (talk) 15:14, 15 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I totally agree. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 195.37.16.242 (talk) 13:14, 12 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

This article would be much more useful if someone could combine a list showing the airlines revenue passenger kilometers as this is the true benchmark for airline size. For example how can Easyjet be classified as being a larger airline than IAG when the later has twice as many aircraft that are on average of a much larger size? Number of passengers carried is a misleading statistic. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.111.149.194 (talk) 12:13, 28 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Fleet size

The fleet size list is so incomplete as to seem complete useless. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.58.192.150 (talk) 18:17, 4 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Complete list

European Airline Traffic Trends [XLS]

The free, downloadable European airline traffic trends database from anna.aero tracks passenger numbers and load factors for European airlines for 2010 as well as year-to-date data for 2011. --46.173.70.199 (talk) 16:11, 17 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry.

46 airlines are currently tracked. There are some gaps in the database, most notably Wizz Air, Pegasus, Air Europa, Spanair, Meridianafly and S7. --46.173.70.199 (talk) 16:19, 17 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Confusing comparison

Hello. This article should be a comparison of the largest airlines in Europe, but it confuses airlines with airline-holdings. The comparison of enterprises (Lufthansa Group, Air France-KLM Group, International Airlines Group) is off-topic. Best regards, --R.Schuster (talk) 14:11, 10 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Totally agree. My suggestion would be that we have two tables here for clarity; one purely showing 'airlines', as you suggest, and one showing 'airline holding companies' or perhaps 'airline groups'. The headings would be the similar for each, in line with the present one (showing Rank/Airline/2011/2010 etc.) As each would show fleet numbers, this change would also render the existing perfunctory table 'By Fleet Size' redundant - users could sort either table by fleet size, using the column heading, if they want to. The numbers of passengers for the airline holding companies would then also agree with the 'World' figures for passengers carried and fleet size. Brilliant.

Move discussion in progress

There is a move discussion in progress on Talk:List of 100 largest law firms by revenue which affects this page. Please participate on that page and not in this talk page section. Thank you. —RMCD bot 08:44, 22 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Missing airlines

I believe this article should be kept, but it needs serious cleaning up. Should there be statistics for airline groups like IAG or for separate airlines? I believe airlines should be separate. Also, some airlines just disappeared. There are references for them, but they are not on the list. Most notably, airlines from TUI Group (Thomson Airways, Jetairfly) and Thomas Cook group airlines (Condor, Thomas Cook Airlines). -- Marcos [Tupungato] (talk) 10:24, 7 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Bankruptcies

Air Berlin and Monarch declared bankruptcy in 2017. Should this be noted somewhere? Hobbitschuster (talk) 10:58, 21 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

For sure, I would note it. --Martin2035 (talk) 13:17, 22 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
