Volario
Virtual Interlining

Where modern airline
partnerships are born

Volario offers airlines a fully digital and data-driven distribution channel to reach more passengers through virtual interlining

The new way to interline
for airlines

Volario is a modern flights platform that enables carriers to build new partnerships quickly & at scale

  • Grow your network
  • Sell more seats
  • Generate incremental revenue
  • Access new markets
  • No overhead or investment

The problem

Today’s interline solutions have limitations

  • Traditional interlining does not fit the LCC business model
  • Alliance & interline partnerships are not suitable for every route or market
  • White-label VI platforms have limited scalability and interfere with regular operations 
  • Self-connect OTAs act independently & not in the interest of the carrier

THE SOLUTION

A modern solution is needed

Volario acts as your airline’s virtual interlining merchant, allowing you to reap the benefits immediately

  • Volario matches your inventory with other carriers
  • We act as the merchant of record (IATA licensed)
  • Your brand remains unaffected; you sell via our OTA
  • We support the passenger throughout their journey

HOW IT WORKS

Start virtual interlining in a few easy steps

INTEGRATE

List your inventory on Volario

Volario offers you flexible integration methods of your flight inventory. We are able to work with both NDC & custom airline APIs, and work with our partners to provide an in-depth integration of their ancillaries.

We have also already integrated a variety of content providers including GDSs, aggregators, and consolidators. If your flights are available there, it means that we can get you up and running in no time.

BUNDLE

Matching your inventory with the right partners

Volario uses Airsiders’ state-of-the-art virtual interline algorithm to find connections where at least one of the legs meets the needs of the passenger.

We also use our route development toolkit to work with our airline partners in making routes available together with partners where they see a market potential for collaboration.

DISTRIBUTE

Gain access to our distribution network

Volario is integrated into global metasearches, and we are working hard to grow our coverage every day. This means that once integrated, your virtual interline content will be available to millions of passengers all over the world.

We also work closely with our airline partners to enter into discussions into metasearch engines where there is a strategic market fit for their content.

SELL

Start selling virtual interline tickets

Thanks to our IATA agency license, we are able to act as the Merchant of Record (MoR) for the itineraries that we sell.

On Volario, passengers have a seamless booking & checkout process where they are provided with relevant connection information. We are also PCI DSS compliant, and offer our users a variety of payment methods.

SUPPORT

Let us take care of the passenger

After booking with Volario, passengers are able to view their booking in our booking management tool through their Volario reference number. Moreover, they have access to our friendly 24/7 support, and are offered a connection protection to account for disruptions.

We have gone above and beyond to service the passenger seamlessly. Volario Go acts as the digital transfer desk for passengers on their day of travel, connecting them with the information they need to navigate their airport journey.

OPTIMISE

Track your performance, gain insights, and optimise

Volario provides airlines with an analytics dashboard where they can track sales & the performance of their content. Our Partner Success team proactively supports you in identifying opportunities to increase sales.

With our dynamic pricing engine, you are able to run pricing experiments on specific routes or markets and drive sales further.

THROUGH-CHECK

Take it one step further with through-check

From self-connect to full-service virtual interlining. Airsiders works with airlines to enable the through-check of luggage.

By design, our end-to-end solutions align with existing airline processes, ground handling operations, local customs requirements, and require no IT changes for the carriers.
