One of BA's and, presumably, VS's most lucrative routes is LHR-LOS. I assume BA's LHR-ABV and VS's LHR-PHC are also lucrative. In fact, most flights to West, East and Southern Africa (except South Africa) are normally very expensive.

For AF it is Luanda PER FLIGHT but they are only allowed to operate the route once a week so it's probably somewhere like Abidjan or Libreville that does best for them.

This topic about "cash cow" routes has been beat into the ground. There were just two forums on it last month. Just a friendly reminder to do a search next time

ATLhomeCMH,
Maybe somebody wanted to talk about this topic now. I suppose because it's been disscussed many times in the past--we can no longer talk about it? If that's the case how come I keep hearing W. tell us how good the war in Iraq is going?

Codeshare: Absolutely, the trans-Atlantic gateways are traditionally very profitable for airlines. However, with the extensive competition by the European and American airlines, profits (especially in Economy) are somewhat watered down removing the possibility of them being the most profitable routes for the companies.
On that note however, I do believe JFK-LHR is one of AA's most profitable routes, and that's why they also provide a 'shuttle' much like BA, with 6 daily flights.

Hello,
For Swiss, I heard that the Geneva- New York route, which is called "United Nations Bus" is very lucrative. This flight is everyday full in F and C and often in Y.
Another LX route which was very profiatble is the Zurich-Malabo route.

ZHR-SSG??? Profitable??? Obiang must be the biggest corrupt in Africa... How many differents bank accounts do he might to have in Switzerland???
For IB, MEX and JFK are very profitables, with a very good occupation ratio in Buz.
In the AF'case all routes towards Japan and of course, the typical Paris-Montreal

Far and away, CO's most profitable route is EWR-TLV. Between their two flights, they are able to fill 96 J seats with paid pax on a routine basis.
What a/c do they operate on this route, and why is it so profitable?
Doesn't AA operate more frequent routes from ORD-LHR than any other gateway city in Europe? Wouldn't that be most profitable since they can route a ton of their business traffic through ORD?

That's perfectly fine. Just gets old seeing the same stuff over and over...and over...and over again. That's why I've stopped starting forums w/ WN as the topic b/c no matter what it is, it always turns into a mudslinging fest.
I suppose because it's been disscussed many times in the past--we can no longer talk about it?
Ok Mr. Sensitive. I don't know where I said that, but there are certain topics that are talked about TOO much.
If that's the case how come I keep hearing W. tell us how good the war in Iraq is going?
Now I agree with you there. I know from firsthand experience it's not going that great.

I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong, but for BD, their most profiable route is LHR-BHD with 8 rotations a day. The flights are generally close to full all day every day.
However there used to be 16 flights a day when BA served the route from BFS, so I can only assume the traffic is there. Looking at other carriers, both BE and U2 fly to London up to 20 times daily between them. There is so much demand.
Debate is what you put on de hook when you want to catch de fish.

EWR-TLV is so profitable partially by the economy, as in my opinion CO has got LY beat as far as C Class quality,but by how many Business seats at high prices you can pack on those 2 daily 777s.
