Air Fare
The airlines are selling special product. Product means the services or goods or commodity which are ready to sale and which satisfies the need of a customer. To sale the commodity the producer or seller must have fixed the price. Fixing of the price is necessary when it is ready to sale. In airlines industry product is the air space and the production is to publish the schedules.
Every airlines has its own rules and regulations and fare conditions, which they will publish accordingly. The same way every country has its rules and regulations. The rule of a country is applicable within the territory of the country and the rule published by an airline is applicable to the airlines only. If the journey is limited within one country by only one airline it will be very easy to rifer and follow particular rules and regulations. But international travel involves more than two countries and may travel involve more than two airlines. So IATA publishes the rules and regulations applicable to their member countries and airlines.
