That was my first question. After working with logistics for ground transportation it is critical to minimize travel while maximizing payload. Ups and usps have a dense road network to follow for door to door deliveries and planes have hub to hub deliveries with fewer obstacles. I understand certain Airlines routing all collector routes to their main hub to maximize payload. The international flights can be real head scratchers. The economics don't add up. The one that gets me is S to S flights always come N for layover fuel stops but N to N never go S of the equator. The emergency landings can be bizarre but interesting. Just a sample for fun.
