That is a good question XSBaggage. I wonder if these factors are part of it:
  • A very great proportion of their pax are US travelling inside the US and do not experience the range of different carriers that we have in Europe.
  • Their US pax who do not travel internationally often, probably feel safer to book with a US carrier.
  • Their US pax who do travel internationally often, inc C + F, may have employer restrictions to stay with US carriers.
  • US carriers may offer financial benefits to those C + F pax.
  • US based Frequent Flyer Miles programmes.
