Biggest world airlines ranking: Lufthansa ahead of Southwest; Air France overtakes BA; Ryanair 10th

The latest rankings of the world's largest scheduled airlines for Apr-2011 reveals further change at the top, as some airlines expand capacity levels aggressively, while others cut back. As noted last month, Emirates has moved ahead of United (though the United-Continental combination would be the world's biggest, ahead of Delta by some 10%).
