Abstract

Because code-sharing lets airlines market inventory jointly, it is central to alliance strategy. This research note discusses a common code-share revenue management process and quantifies code-sharing based on empirical data provided by Lufthansa German Airlines. We highlight overcoming selfishness, information asymmetry, system heterogeneity and decentralization as main challenges to effective code-share management.
