Top airlines by pax flying to UK; Internet useless

[Isidore Hitmouse]

Good afternoon. I hope this is an appropriate place to post this; apologies if not.

I'm trying to get a quick list of the top 20 or so airlines that fly in/out/within the UK - either by pax or by number of routes, any metric would be fine.

However the CAA only seems to publish data on UK-owned airlines, so leaving out eg Ryanair, and I can't find the information anywhere else. I've been googling for three days to no avail.

Can anyone help, at all?

This kind of information would be readily available from the OAG schedules database. Normally OAG commercialise (ie sell) it but you can sign up for a free 14 day trial of their OAG MAX tool - maybe that can do the job.

In any case, check out OAG - The Official Airline Flight Schedules and Guides for the Business Traveler (http://www.oag.com)

(Mods - I have nothing to do with OAG and no personal interest in promoting them)

Thank you. I couldn't see a product called OAG Max but there's something called OAG flights; fingers crossed.

Yes, strange I can't find it on their website.

I found this link to it:
