Expanding Regional Networks: The Role of Virtual Interlining for Regional Carriers

Introduction

Regional carriers face a unique challenge: expanding their networks while operating within tight resource constraints. Virtual interlining provides an innovative way for these airlines to extend their reach, offering passengers more destinations and seamless travel experiences. How can this approach help regional carriers thrive in an increasingly competitive market?

Problem

Regional airlines often operate limited fleets and serve specific geographic areas, making it difficult to compete with larger carriers and alliances. Traditional codeshare agreements and interline partnerships are resource-intensive, leaving regional airlines with fewer options to grow their connectivity. Passengers, meanwhile, frequently deal with the inconvenience of booking separate tickets and managing their baggage during self-connecting journeys, impacting their overall experience.

Solution

Airsiders offers a 360° solution, which includes a White-Label or API technology to empower regional carriers and extend their networks with ease. By integrating Airsiders’ comprehensive content, carriers can connect their flights with those of other airlines, creating unique, cost-effective itineraries.

This approach is further enhanced by our Check-Thru service, which automates baggage transfers for self-connecting passengers, ensuring a seamless experience from start to finish.

With Airsiders' virtual interlining technology, regional airlines can:

• Boost additional traffic by attracting passengers seeking broader travel options.

• Extend their network beyond their own routes without the complexities of alliances.

• Increase connectivity with access to Airsiders’ expansive virtual interline content.

• Improve the passenger experience through effortless booking and automated baggage handling.

Our solution not only drives revenue growth but also positions regional carriers as competitive players in today’s dynamic aviation landscape.
