Virtual Interlining

What is Virtual Interlining?

​

Interlining is an airline-industry-specific term. Carriers come to an agreement with others, or join an alliance, and then passengers can fly to their destination using all of those airlines in agreement. 

​

Virtual interlining is where the technology behind the scenes organizes the means for passengers to travel on multiple carriers on a single itinerary even without an agreement.

 

Why adopt our Virtual Interlining Solution?

​

• Build customized virtual networks

• Expand with hundreds of thousands of Virtually Interlined On Destinations

• Utilize distressed inventory

• Gain incremental passenger traffic
