I'm not confident I understand this point of view.
What does 'national carrier' even mean?
Is IAG British or Spanish?
Who on earth are you including in 'our'?
Do KLM fly from 4-5 times as many British airports as BA?
As a practical matter, if I want to get to Tokyo from Manchester and must transfer, should I prefer 5 flights a day from LHR or 28 a day from HKG?
