By comparison, in Europe, the five biggest airlines - Lufthansa, Ryanair, IAG , Air France-KLM and EasyJet - account for barely 45% of the total seats available.The question is whether that consolidation comes as a result of weaker players going to the wall, with other operators seeing a natural rise in their market share as a result, or via takeovers.
It was warned last July by French president Emmanuel Macron's government - at the time its biggest shareholder - to reform its working practices in the way that British Airways and Lufthansa have in the past.
