Contract Airline

[Archie2821]

I know this is very far off from being even thought of, but its in my head now so I figured I'd put down whats in my mind before I lose it. If I am not mistaken, this game will have more freedom to run an airline how you want it to be run. Has there been any thought into allowing an airline contract out their planes to fly for another airline? Like Air Wisconsin flying for American. Again nothing to concentrate on now, but just an idea that popped into my head.

Wouldn't that just be leasing? Or do you mean an airline flying its own planes but a large part of the profits goes to another airline, in return for large reputation and passenger demand bonuses...now that I think about it, that seems like a great idea!

Is that what a codeshare is? It's a cool idea, I haven't put any thought into how it would work though.

Not really, but we could roll with that. I'm just thinking how regional carriers in the US fly for the major carriers. Like Republic, Air Wisconsin, Mesa etc. flying for United, American, and Delta. It'd be kinda a niche thing, but it is a big part of aviation.

Its not really, that would be an airline operating a flight on behalf of another airline. But yea I have no real idea on the logistics of it, I just wanted to get it on paper so I wouldn't forget about it .
