Hi all
I'm sometimes really wondering about costs/required personnel of interlining contracts. There are some small airlines with only a couple of aircrafts where I have to pay a lot for the contract, on the other side for the contract with some of the other big airlines I have to pay < 1000AS$ per week.
Could it be that the costs of the IL are spread depending on the size of the airline? Isn't it a problem that it is usually not worth for a big airline to start an IL contract with a small one as it costs a lot only for a hand full of new passengers? And why is it so cheap as big airline to have and IL with another big airline?
