Revealed: The USA's Top 5 Busiest Domestic Airline Routes
Вставка
- Опубліковано 29 вер 2024
- In early September we showed you the top 5 busiest international flight routes for the month according to OAG data. Most of these were rather short and located in East Asia, connecting large economically important cities with one another, mostly across bodies of water. And so for today’s video, we will again look at OAG data for this past September. This time, we’ll examine the top 5 Busiest Domestic Airline Routes in the United States.

I am really curious about Canada's domestic numbers
Just imagine if they would have high speed trains between LA and SF. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Too soon man. Too soon 😂
Same for Dallas-Houston/San Antonio, or Atlanta-Charlotte-Durham , around Chicago (Milwaukee, Minneapolis, Detroit etc), Vancouver-Seattle-Portland etc etc. There are so many links in North America that could be easily done with high speed rail...
LA to las Vegas, even
do one on europe
As well as Latin America and Canada
There are a few changes in this. Here is the updated list from OAG October 2024:
1. LAX-SFO
Seats
319,064
2. LAS-LAX
Seats
303,394
3. ATL-MCO
Seats
288,226
4.LGA-ORD
Seats
283,592
5. JFK-LAX
Seats
282,426
6. HNL-OGG
Seats
281,910
The flights between Atlanta and Orlando may be the result of passengers going to the resorts in Orlando (Disney and Universal) via the major hub in Atlanta.
It'll be interesting to see how this changes once the Brightline West high-speed train route from San Bernardino to Las Vegas opens by the late 2020's. I do think Atlanta to Orlando could eventually be covered by a high-speed train from between Atlanta and Orlando with immediate stops in Savannah, GA and Jacksonville, FL.
With these short city/airport pairs flying most frequently, and with growing ecological awareness of the jets’ destructive environmental footprints, it’s high time these be replaced and served with less destructive yet still equally efficient and convenient bullet trains.
These are available seats per schedule per city pair. I'd be curious what are the load factors per flight for each city pair. Percentage of each seat filled per flight. As an ex-airline guy, load factors mattered since there was only one fare per flight. Each passenger paid the same. This was back in the 1950s, 60s, and 70s. Then the computers changed all that. Now it's profitability for each flight scheduled.
Top 2 should be high speed rail routes. Atlanta is a major hub and MCO is a major tourist destination so its valid that some foreign destinations might only via ATL only. SFO and LAX are both Pacific gateways so both should have most of the same destinations and CAHSR rail will use the existing 4th/King and Sales Force TC in San Francisco and LA's Union Station and Anaheim's main station at the other end. The launch of Dreamstar in 2025 probably won't move the needle much, but would be interesting to look at mode share change on travel from the Bay Area to LA (even if CAHSR is only operational in the central valley)
See my post about a possible Atlanta to Orlando route.
So in other words, these are the perfect markets to introduce high speed rail in the United States. Got it.
I was trying to think of other geographic areas where this might apply besides NYC; LA has multiple airports as does San Francisco, can’t really think of any others…
San Francisco, Houston, Chicago, Washington DC, Phoenix, Orlando, Tampa, Miami/Ft. Lauderdale
I flew on Deltas A350 from ATL-MCO short flight for the big A350 but I enjoyed the flight 🥰
I would rather fly in a 30 year old 717 than a brand new 737 MAX 😂😂😂
30 year old 717 🙂
I had no idea LA and Vegas were so close together, I thought they were about twice as far apart as they actually are
That's also why a new high speed line connecting Los Angeles to Las Vegas is currently being built.
Good way to start the day🎉🎉
Do one for the Caribbean
Next india please
ooohhh first
Planes are best for long distances. I hope many of these short flights can be phased out eventually.
Is there a ferry service in Hawaii? LA to SF and LA to LV will have high-speed train service in the next few years. Seems like ATL to MCO should also have good rail service.
Not sure why anyone would want to take a ferry between the Hawaiian islands when they can fly.
Why take a 20 minute flight leaving every 30 minutes when you can take a 3-4 hour ferry?
@@spades9048 there's no such thing as a 20 minute commercial flight. How much time do you need for security and boarding before that 20 minutes? How long does it take to get from popular destinations to the airports and how does that compare to the ground transmission to the ferry terminals?
But also, why does it take so long for a modern ferry to cover that distance?
@@FameyFamous How much time do you show up before you board a ferry? TSA Precheck took less than 15 minutes on my last trip at Kahului, Honolulu and Lihue.
It’s 75 nautical miles between Maui and Oahu. A ferry is going to do what - 20 knots? Why does it take a modern ferry so month? Because that’s what it takes when you’re moving something as large as a ship across water.
@@FameyFamous For all of the US mainland flights - I have personally flown ATL-MCO dozens of times. But I’m not fooling myself by thinking that flight is mostly local O&D like me. If I’m going from Indianapolis to Orlando via Atlanta then I’m not getting to Atlanta to then wait on a train. You’re already through security - you’re just going to wait for the next flight that takes 1 hour and Delta leaves every hour.
It's a good amount of data. Thank you.
On the other hand, I think it wouldn't be so difficult for you to use some math and give us a correct picture considering the geographic areas...
What?
@@1997nick If you watch the video, you'll understand what I'm talking about.
@@MarceloTrindade1 I did; if it's "not so difficult" why not do it yourself and share the numbers here in the comments? I don't feel that it's glaring that they're missing.
@@1997nick Because he didn't explicit all the neccessary data to allow the calculations for other airport pairs in the same geographic area. If you have these numbers I'll be glad to help.
