It all depends on just how much of a pedant you are. Just how do you define larger and bigger?. .BA is bigger than Ryanair but Ryanair is worth more that BA. Does that make it larger? Certainly more valuable. . .Well we know what they mean and the way things are going there will only be one airline in Europe soon, with a mostly blue livery. The question is which one??. .Bigger or larger?
