Abstract :
Code-share alliances have become aprominent feature in the competitive land-scape of the airline industry. In this paper, based on relevant assumptions, the maximum profit function (MPF) among different code sharing options has been established, in which the optimum fare can be gained to calculate the airlines maximum profit. Then the results would be tested by the air passengers´ welfare function. Finally, the method is applied in practice successfully.
