Interlining on Nicosia out of function?

[brunoferretti]

Despite signs at airports on airlines with interlign agreements missing, ORS is not retrieving connection flights, either within same airline or with a different one you do have an agreement with.

Also, noticed a sudden sharp reduction on flights which are highly dependent on connections.

Example:

Flight AEB339 - PDP/BSB

28/OCT - 47 connection passengers

29/OCT - 36 con. pax.

30/OCT - 21con. pax.

31/OCT - 0

And PDP update just happened a few minutes ago, and there is no new competitor on this corridor which could potentially have taken those passengers.

Comments highly appreciated

Hello,

I searched for information about this but did not manage to find anything, so maybe it has gone unnoticed; on Nicosia, all interlining agreements seem to be out of order. They are neither shown in form of the little green link symbol on airport pages, nor do they actually work as connection and feeder statisatics as well as seat loads seem to prove. I consulted with an alliance colleague who brought the issue up.

Since it can have severly damaging effects for some players advice would be appreciated.

Best regards,

EDIT:

I checked my stats again; they are actually NOT supporting the fact that interlining isn’t working, maybe simply the symbols are not shown. Colleagues however state they have load drops especially on long-haul flights. I personally revoke my statement earlier, I cannot find a definite proof that passengers are not changing to external flights, will look into the newly booked-in flights now.
