When an airline lists a flight as being under the management of another carrier, it signifies a codeshare agreement. This arrangement permits one airline to market and sell seats on flights physically operated by a different airline. For instance, a passenger might book a flight with Airline A, but the actual aircraft and crew are provided by Airline B.
These partnerships offer several advantages for both airlines and passengers. They expand route networks, providing travelers with more options and connections. Airlines can access new markets without investing in additional aircraft or crew, while passengers benefit from potentially better fares and streamlined booking processes. The practice has become increasingly common in the modern aviation industry, reflecting the complex web of global airline alliances and partnerships.
