Emirates = Middle Eastern Full Serv
Ryanair = Western LoCo
SkyWest Airlines = US Regional (United/Delta)
ExpressJet = US Regional (Continental)
Jet Airways = Indian Full Serv
Mesa Air Group = US Regional (United/Delta/US/self)
Gol Transportes Aereos = Brazilian LoCo
Republic Airways Holdings = US Regional
FL Group = Icelandic Holding Co
Kenya Airways = African Major
Evergreen Intenational Airlines = US Charterer
Middle East Airlines = Lebanese
ASTAR Air Cargo = US Cargo (formerlly DHL)
Air Transport International = US Charter
AF-KLM Op Margin = 4.4%
Need I say more, other than that one is African, one is Asian, one is South American, two are Middle Eastern, and the remainder are more Western than Western gets. Unless perhaps you wish to sub-segregate further and argue all night?
