Now codesharing is a feature that constantly crops up, but to date there's been no real consensus as to how it would work.

 

As such, I present the following idea to everyone for feedback:

 

  • Inside the routes page (or somewhere else) there will be a 'codeshare' tab to open, on this page players will be able to:
    1. See a quick overview of their current codeshare partners; indicating the total profit and yield per codeshare partner
    2. Request a new codeshare
    3. See current requests for codeshares on their services.
  • Players can request a codeshare partnership with any airline, however both airlines must agree to it
    • Codeshares would be limited to logical routes (for instance if an airline flies SYD-LAX non-stop they will not be allowed to codeshare on SYD-Middle East/Europe/Africa-LAX)
  • Codeshares expire after a certain period, but can be extended at the agreement of both airlines
  • The codesharee requests a certain amount of seats (per is to be determined) be held by the operator for them, in return they pay a fee (frequency to be determined) as compensation for the operator's loss of revenue.
  • Codeshares can be terminated by either airline, however if termination is a unilateral decision a penalty is paid to the affected party.
  • Codeshare agreements can either cover a single route/flight option or multiple routes/flight options, however all routes/flight options covered by an agreeement will be affected if the agreement is terminated.

Potentially more to come depending on feedback.

I  suggest there should be a limit on the amount of airlines you can codeshare with, 5 for example. This means no massive airlines with little planes can crop up.

I dislike this, given I gather many legitimate airlines could be cut short by it. [United, on a quick google, has over 15, including regional affiliates but excluding alliance members.]

Indeed, even from memory smaller airlines like Air New Zealand have far more than five. In fact, NZ102 to Sydney from Auckland has 6 codeshare partners alone.

There should be a limit based on the number of daily flights. For a small airline, it would be five. A little larger, seven. Even larger, fifteen. Gigantic, nineteen.
