Abstract
This chapter describes the role of airlines in the air transport system. It starts with a description of the various airline types and the associated network structures. The development of local and global operation strategies including the different concepts of low cost carrier (LCC) and flag carrier are discussed. A major part is also dedicated to flight planning and ticket pricing as core elements of the airline business models. Also, different aspects are discussed that drive the setup of airline fleets and the selection of aircraft. For operational issues, the organizational setup of an airline and its related stations are discussed. The chapter ends with a description of aircraft maintenance as a major driver for aircraft availability. Here the major activities and strategies for improvement are introduced.
