Neighbourhood traffic agreement

Neighbourhood travel agreements cover routes operated in the same geographical area. Usually, it covers routes operated in parallel by two airlines, but it can also cover all routes operated between the home countries of the airlines involved.

Neighbourhood travel agreement can still be negotiated between ZMF members, meaning that the eligibility and fares that BA is using internally must be accepted by SK on these special routes. And vice versa. So if BA will ticket a BA employee’s sister at ID75 on BA, SK has to accept that ticket on a neighbourhood route, even if BA/SK ZED general concurrence does not include this person or fare. But only on these routes; it does not affect the ZED concurrence between BA and SK for other routes.

This makes travel easier for the employee who can travel with one ticket for travel on own routes, and use it for travel on the other airline, even if fares and rules are not the same as for online travel. Example TYO-FRA. NH internal fare for travel on NH is ID90. LH internal fare is IDZL. If NH and LH agree to neighbourhood agreement, NH must accept the LH ticket at ZL, and vice versa. If NH issue a ticket to a grandmother of an employee according to own rules, LH must accept.

Any members can agree to the same kind of agreement on the annex to the concurrence form.
