– why are there no global Airline companies

813 views

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?

America and Europe has different rules. So for example pilots trained and licensed in US cannot fly inside of Europe and wise versa. (except is when they just land here and leave.)
