Methodology

Counts cover repositioning legs recorded on the SkyAccess marketplace over the trailing 12 months plus currently listed future flights, aggregated bidirectionally and folded to the metro a traveler would search. Corridors qualify only with activity across at least three distinct months; single-month fleet shuffles are excluded.
