Power & Associates listed Alaska Airlines and Delta Air Lines as the best traditional carriers for satisfaction, while low-cost airline Southwest Airlines earned the top spot of low-cost carriers tested in the study.United Airlines, Delta Air Lines, American Airlines and Southwest Airlines are the top ranked airlines based on 2018 domestic market share. Delta operates out of Atlanta, and Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport, Delta’s hub, sees the most passenger traffic in the United States. At 330.58 billion, American Airlines boasted the most passenger kilometers flown in 2018. Chicago-headquartered United Airlines is a subsidiary of United Continental Holdings. United has flights to 238 domestic destinations and 60 different countries, the George Bush Intercontinental Airport in Houston being its largest passenger hub with over 40 million passengers every year.
