Interline Transportation

In the context of aviation, Interline Transportation refers to a voluntary commercial agreement between different airlines to handle passengers traveling on itineraries that require multiple airlines. It involves the transfer of passengers and their baggage from one airline to another, often involving multiple legs of a journey, without the need for the passenger to check-in separately with each airline. This system is designed to provide a seamless travel experience for passengers, allowing them to travel across the networks of multiple airlines with a single ticket. Interline agreements can also include provisions for the transfer of cargo, making it a crucial aspect of global logistics. These agreements are beneficial for airlines as well, as they can offer their passengers a wider range of destinations than they could provide on their own. It's important to note that interline transportation is different from codeshare agreements, where one airline places its flight number and sells tickets for flights operated by another airline.
