With the merger between American and US Airways now complete,you can't attend but notice that they have a lot of hubs. When mergers happen, it also typically leads to some hubs losing quite a few flights. For example, or Minneapolis has shrunk quite a bit following the Delta/Northwest merger,while Cleveland has shrunk considerably following the Continental/United merger.
Admittedly the American merger isn't quite as far along as the other two mergers, though as of now all hubs still seem to be going strong. However, or you might be surprised to hear that Charlotte is actually American's most profitable hub. How they're defining "profitable" we're not certain of,but it's one of the many challenging tidbits in a Charlotte Observer article about American renewing their lease at Charlotte Airport:"American, like other airlines that coast from Charlotte, and wants to retain its costs as low as possible. The airline has a good deal at Charlotte Douglas,which it has told analysts is its most profitable hub."The post You’ll Never Guess American’s Most Profitable Hub appeared first on One Mile at a Time.
