Re: BACitiExpress The final solution!

CPA (Capacity Purchase Agreement) as I understand it is a bit like a franchise agreement in a different dress, slightly different dynamic in corporate structure etc. but essentially the same thing where a large network carrier (eg BA) Buys x amount of capacity from another corporate entity but maintains control over certain, if not all aspects of the operation.

Expressjet in the US provides regional services to Continental mainline through a Capacity Purchase Agreement, but as I see it it's just another buzz word for a franchise agreement...........
