To bankrupt airlines that take advantage of the connecting pax feature, simply put a small plane—such as a helicopter—on the route they are exploiting. Set your price to zero, this will not lose you much money because the plane is tiny. Doing this will dry up all of the connecting demand the spamliner is relying on.

ooh, I have to try this on an open world...

You can’t set price to 0, it has to be at least $1.

It doesn't work. My Airlines got soo many passengers that it crushed all other Spamliners too.

I've had marginal success with this in the past, it's really helped me out when I've given Niche airlines a try (Like a SoCal Commuter line and such)

Airlines operate under a web of regulations and safety standards. Just slapping a helicopter on a commercial route, especially with zero-pricing, would likely trigger red flags with aviation authorities. Getting the necessary approvals could be a bureaucratic nightmare, if not straight-up impossible.
