I'm trying to figure out why this guy..

http://www.airlinemogul.com/airlinemogul/view_airline.php?id=4798

Is more profitable than I am on a DOP basis.  I have roughly the same size business, but his DOP is much higher.  I also looked on the map and he seems to be flying some routes (Mexico City to Europe) that are beyond the range of his aircraft.  

Also, he is listed as flying to Edinburg, Scotland, but when I look at that gate, his airline is not listed as an airline that goes to that airport.  What's up with that?

Any ideas on what he might be doing to be more profitable than similar competitors?  Inputs appreciated.

He has way more routes than you with more profitable aircraft such as the F28

And at Edinburgh, he is flying to Istanbul Atatürk, Tripoli, Boston and Montreal.

His airline code is FRE, so type that at the airport and you'll see.

But he does not have long range aircraft except for 1 DC-7? And all others are 4000 miles or less. Looks weird, but probably is OK, it's hard to judge where those routes are going. And he is not running MEX-Europe, like Jps said, go in and search his airline code and you will see.

I look up his airline code, but I have no way of knowing exactly what routes he is running.  Am I missing something?

True, but that will not show the large number of alliance flights he is doing, for that you have to look in his profile, and then view all "odd" airports.

He's probably just doing alliance routes... that way he could have routes on 5 continents with a fleet of AN2's
