Brightline has been assigned the designator code “BE” by the International Air Transport Association (IATA). This milestone will enable Brightline to expand its reach through interline and codeshare arrangements with airlines worldwide, while also simplifying sales through travel agencies and tour operators via Global Distribution Systems (GDS).
By using the “BE” code, Brightline can be listed alongside airlines in booking systems, allowing customers to seamlessly plan and purchase combined air and rail journeys. This functionality will enhance connectivity between Brightline’s stations in Florida and key destinations served by partner airlines.
The designation offers several benefits, including:
- Interline and codeshare partnerships – With its IATA code, Brightline can now engage in interline and codeshare agreements with airlines, creating a seamless booking experience for passengers who wish to travel from one destination to another using both air and rail.
- GDS participation – The “BE” code allows Brightline to be available on GDS platforms used by travel agencies and tour operators around the world, making it easier for customers to book combined travel options.
- Simplified travel booking – Customers will be able to see and book Brightline journeys directly through airline and travel agency platforms, offering a smooth and convenient way to plan their entire trip.
This achievement underscores Brightline’s commitment to "redefining" modern travel by linking major destinations across Florida, and now, connecting to the global network through partnerships with airlines.
