Few notes there:
* The parent comment didn't caveat "large airline".
* Porter is the third-largest airline in Canada. Canada has 10% of the population of the US, so our airlines will be accordingly smaller.
* American Airlines is the largest airline in North America [1], serves the entire country + international. Really not a reasonable comparison to a regional domestic airline.

- wolco 7y agoThat speaks to the lack of airlines in Canada if the third largest has 74 max people and 29 planes.

Porter still comes in at 18th largest in North America [1] (It might also be because each of the two large carriers, Air Canada and WestJet, has a number of subsidiaries/wholly owned sub brands which would each be larger than Porter - eg Air Canada Rouge, WestJet Encore) [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_largest_airlines_in_North_America#By_fleet_size https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_largest_airlines_in_No...
