	Some merger related comments: I think United should be higher since the continental merger. Surprised no International Airlines Group (British Airways/Iberia). Does Air France include KLM numbers?

	Good quiz, but very surprised that B.A. did not make the list. After all, a) I have seen adverts claiming that they are the world's biggest airline, and b) they go everywhere, don't they? I know that they are a British airline, but there aren't that many airlines which serve destinations the world over.

	D'oh! Flew China Southern several times while adopting our daughter and couldn't remember the name.

	@transitfan - UA and Continental received their single operators licence in November and officially merged only this March 3rd, so maybe next year's edition? @Rob42 - Another measure of "size" is revenue passenger kilometers, which also takes into account the distance flown per passenger. It is with this measure that sprawling airlines like British Airways, Air France, and Emirates move up the rankings. It would be interesting to have a quiz with the top ten of both measures side by side.

	Ryanair is the SouthWest of Europe .If they get to buy out Aer Lingus they'll have flights to the USA/Canada etc. Surprised BA did'nt make the list

	China Eastern/Western but not Air China? Hmmmm

	Regarding the absence of BA: The source combines Int'l and Domestic flight totals. BA is # 6 in the world in Int'l flights, but doesn't rank among domestic flight leaders.

	@Dublin4711 haven't heard of SouthWest but interesting to see it's the Ryanair of North America ;)

	@isildur: While Southwest is a low-cost airline, it has a strong reputation for providing high-quality service at a reasonable price and isn't looking to tack on charges for every little thing. So it isn't exactly fair to call it the Ryanair of North America.

	The chinese airlines inflate their numbers by putting political prisoners in the holds of old airplanes and giving them to the airlines to recycle for scrap. The prisoners ride the planes (mounted on rail) to the foundries but it counts as a flight.

	Well I managed a big fat 0 on that one. After Easyjet and B.A. failed, was time to hit the give up button!

	The name of the company is also Southwest Airlines, not simply Southwest. Since you include "airlines" with other carriers, it should be included for SWA for consistency.

	No Oceanic Airlines? :)

	This quiz is won by domestic flights, all the American airline companies have best odds simply because the turnover rate of short flights, and no train system to compete with.

	Insert obligatory "Airplane!" quote here.

	I live in China and didn't think about the Chinese airlines. But I'll bet if you did a quiz on the percentage of flights that were 100% full, they would top the list. I've never been on one that wasn't at capacity.

	I too was surprised at BA's absence but then they're not so popular with short haul European flights, particularly since the rise of Easyjet and Ryanair.

	now the worlds smallest airlines! Aurigny and Blue Islands are quite small
