Airline companies and guides for passengers

Airline guides

An airline is a specially licensed company operating at the cutting edge of passenger travel or goods shipping. While the majority of airlines own and operate their own aircraft, many charter operators rent planes from other companies. To improve efficiency and reduce costs, airlines often share assets with codeshare agreements or partnerships. Until recently, airlines were largely state controlled and flew under the flag of their respective countries however the globalized process of deregulation has led to increased private ownership and competition. The surge in popularity of low-cost airlines ensures cheap fares for short and mid-range flights, opening up air travel to a new demographic. Charter airlines operate without regular schedules and sell seats in blocks to tour operators which offer package vacations. Freight airlines transport goods in specially designed aircraft, an essential shipping method in the globalized world.
