Germany's Lufthansa became Europe's largest airline last year, ousting the throne after 14 years of Air France - KLM.
Globally, American Airlines is still perhaps the largest, and United Airlines is the second largest transporter in the world, crossing Delta Air Lines, the Kosovo Press broadcasts.
After the aggressive expansion of the American market in 2018, the aviation world took over the second largest airline United Airlines.
Early last year, the company decided to increase market share, based on a three - year plan to increase its capacity by 6 percent per year, at the most busy aviation centers on the American continent of Chicago, Houston, and Denver.
German airline increased travel circulation by 9 percent, almost three times faster than its competitor. In fact, in 2018, Lufthansa reached a new passenger record, transferring 142 million passengers to 1.2 million flights.
Lufthansa emerged as a leading country in Europe thanks to mainly organic growth, supported and the purchase of smaller Swiss, Austrian and Brussels airlines, as well as the expansion of the cheaper Eurowings company by nearly 25 percent.
