Abstract
The objective of this dissertation is to investigate airline alliances and code-share, balancing its advantages and disadvantages after research in the Finance Control department of Air France in Paris. Within this department, a specific service for economic studies of alliances has created a code-share gain estimation model for Air France. Its rationale and its results for the last seasons are presented throughout this dissertation. A sensitivity analysis of some parameters in the model is also discussed as well as a cross deduction of SkyTeam code-sharing gains for Alitalia. Finally, a seat-block vs. free flow empirical study is examined. Methods used include simple mathematical methods and Air France internal models. This dissertation concludes of the relevance and the interest of the code-share for airlines and passengers and summarises the thinking of the social welfare effect of code-sharing.
