They're the only two big European carriers that don't fly to the West Coast, As far as I know no airline flies non-stop from any West Coast city to Rome or Madrid, So such routes could be very lucrative.

Air routes and airport parking of big planes is a huge complicated system of fees, permits, and route auctioning. The number of passengers and the distance probably don't justify the investment, so they work out deals with other airlines to transfer passengers.

whilst plane fly on a northerly path they're following a 'super Circle' path. A 'super Circle' path is the shortest distance for the time of a sphere (the Earth). each and every of the meridians (longitudes) and the equator are super Circles. If the sphere (the Earth) must be shrink into 2 equivalent hemispheres the airplane of the shrink is a huge Circle. there are a number of greater super Circles, yet their situation-free characteristic is the line of the Gt Circle around the exterior of the sphere will shrink the sphere into 2 equivalent hemispheres.
