What is a Flag Carrier?
A Flag Carrier is an airline that is owned or operated by a country’s government and is typically designated as the national airline of that country. Flag carriers are often given preferential treatment and access to certain routes and markets and may also receive government subsidies or support. In the shipping context, flag carriers are typically responsible for transporting passengers and cargo to and from the country they represent and may operate international flights as well.
