AND the airlines like this trajectory as it increases yield potential on the Point to point/foreign hub.
You're assuming it's a linear negative trend. In reality, it's cyclical. Airlines yield manage so when point-to-point loads/yields are strong you see transfers decline & vice versa. The recent decline in transfer volumes is starting to reverse again to a growing share.
