Flight demand between the United States and Europe is at an all-time high. Notably, there are 4,674 one-way flights scheduled between the the US and UK this month, according to Cirium data. British Airways dominates the number of weekly flights. However, there is a host of other carriers with a significant presence in the market both sides of the pond. It’s not only the major operators such as the US Big Three and Virgin Atlantic that have a stronghold.

So, with a range of airlines to choose from, which one is the best? Let us know below!
What Is Your Most Flown Airline?
While there are several factors at play when choosing a flight, many people will tend to gravitate towards a particular airline. This could be because they live near a base, have frequent flyer status, or simply prefer the service on offer. I track all of my flights in the Flighty app, and today took a look at my most flown airlines and was slightly surprised to see British Airways claiming the top spot with 49 flights compared to 41 at Ryanair (which I had expected to be at the top)! Equally cool is Air Astana with 7 flights from a single trip to Kazakhstan last summer. What are your most flown airlines? Join the conversation below!
Which Airline Is The Best For Flights From The US To Italy?

Air India’s Record European Capacity—Where Else Should It Fly?
Air India currently serves 10 European airports: Amsterdam, Birmingham, Copenhagen, Frankfurt, London Gatwick, London Heathrow, Milan Malpensa, Paris CDG, Vienna, and Zurich. Of course, there is a big emphasis on Star Alliance hubs.
India’s flag carrier has 16 non-stop European routes, the latest of which is Bengaluru to London Gatwick, which started in August 2024 (it replaced Heathrow, which was served until 2022).
Its European network exists from Ahmedabad, Amritsar, Bengaluru, Delhi, Goa, Kochi, and Mumbai. Unsurprisingly, its two hubs—Delhi and Mumbai—have 80% of seats for sale.
In Q4 2024 (October-December), Air India will have 333,000 one-way India-Europe seats, the most it has ever had in any quarter. It has surpassed its prior quarterly record, held in Q3 2024, by 1.2%. And this is before considering the marriage with Vistara. Air India has 22% of non-stop India-Europe non-stop capacity.

Being based in Frankfurt, I tend to find myself flying with Star Alliance carriers, though I also enjoy flying on oneworld Airlines when I get the chance. Let us know which your preferred alliance is in the comments below!
