Operating Carrier Sample Clauses

The Operating Carrier clause defines which airline is responsible for performing a flight segment, especially when multiple airlines are involved in a single itinerary. In practice, this clause clarifies which carrier will operate the aircraft, provide services, and handle passenger issues for a given leg of the journey, even if the ticket was purchased from a different airline (the marketing carrier). Its core function is to eliminate confusion for passengers and contractual parties by clearly identifying the party accountable for the actual operation of the flight, thereby ensuring transparency and proper allocation of responsibilities.
