Lufthansa tops ranking of Europe's 30 biggest airlines
What are Europe’s biggest airlines? Several data sets could be used to rank them: revenue, fleet size, passengers flown and carrying capacity.

With the help of trade publication Airline Weekly and its analysis of Diio Mi data, we came up with rankings for Europe’s 30-biggest airlines as measured by ASMs for the 12-month period running from July 2017 through June 2018. At the top was Lufthansa, followed by British Airways and Ryanair. Story has slides and more details.<br/>
