A code share flight is a flight marketed by one airline and operated by another where carriers agree to sell seats on each others’ flights as if they were their own. Codeshares allow airlines to offer more destinations to their customers and capture additional revenue, even when they don’t cover a route with their own aircraft.

This is significant for corporate travel management in several ways.

• It allows companies to book flights to a wider range of destinations through their preferred airline partners.

• Corporate travellers can book entire journeys under a single airline code, simplifying the booking process and potentially reducing layover times.

• Business travellers can usually earn frequent flyer miles on code-shared flights, benefiting from corporate loyalty schemes.
