Program your partnerships once. Assign flight numbers consistently. Publish to the GDS in a single step — all inside Zulu, at no extra cost.
Codeshares grow your network, but only if the schedule behind them holds up. Every misconnect or numbering error puts margin and reputation at risk, with passengers and with partners. Zulu's codeshare module replaces manual reconciliation with automated flight number assignment, pre-publication checks, and one-step GDS distribution, all built into the platform you already run on. No add-on. No separate system to manage. Feel confident expanding into new markets and new partnerships without adding manual work. Zulu brings you fewer errors, faster publication, and growth that scales with your airline.
Today, most codeshare coordination happens outside the platform. Partner schedules are emailed, or FTP'd over, checked against your own in Excel, and rechecked every time something changes. There's no automated way to extend date ranges across seasons or catch a mismatch before it ships. Zulu brings that work inside the same system where your schedule already lives.
More codeshare partners mean more revenue potential and more exposure if schedules drift out of sync. Errors don't just cost money. They cost trust, with passengers and with partners. Zulu keeps that risk contained as your partnership count grows, without adding headcount or a second system to manage.
As alliances keep growing, adding a new codeshare partner or extending an existing agreement into a new market shouldn't mean more manual work. Zulu encourages you to keep growing. Integrate every new agreement without separate systems or extra coordination.
Program the parameters of the agreement once — markets, operating days, connection windows, circuity rules. The system monitors for changes that break them, so a schedule update that violates your own rules gets flagged automatically, not discovered downstream.
Assigns flight numbers within agreed ranges, considering MCT, circuity, and connection rules. Maintains the same number across the season wherever possible by flagging conflicts rather than reshuffling assignments mid-season so partners and passengers see a consistent flight number from booking to boarding.
Many codeshare implementations can take three months or more. Zulu's codeshare module runs inside the platform you already know and use. Go live in a fraction of the time, with no separate system to stand up.
Catch violations, count variances, and unmatched flight records before they go out, so errors get fixed before publication, not after a passenger finds them. Every issue caught early is a seat that stays sellable and a partner relationship that stays intact.
Manage SSIM across all partnerships and distribute to the GDS in a single action. Every partner pulls from the same source of truth, so there's nothing to reconcile after the fact, just one publish, sent everywhere it needs to go.
You shouldn't have to pay extra for the tools you need to do your job well. Codeshare management comes standard with your Zulu scheduling platform at no extra cost. That means one less siloed system for your team to license, integrate, and maintain.
In this fireside chat, our team talks through the real synchronization challenges airlines face when growing through partnerships, and what it actually takes to stay ahead of them.
Join the airlines that stopped running codeshares through a separate system.
