There are global players in many industries and to get to be global often they acquire large national companies in countries to expand to those markets.
Why is it with Airlines that there are no global companies owning airlines across multiple nations?
Virgin is the closest I can think of and even they do not actually own the airlines, just the name in some places (Australia).
My only thought is that airlines are not exactly huge profit centres?
In: 201
The “Star Alliance” comes pretty close with airlines from various countries participating in a kind of “joint venture” where passengers can benefit throughout the Alliance.
I’m not sure I understand the question, really. Because many airlines are “international” with offices and presences in airports in various countries.
