Landline

The business operates on a partnership model, working directly with airlines to offer multimodal itineraries to passengers. As of early 2022, Landline had established partnerships with American Airlines, United Airlines, and Sun Country Airlines. Through this B2B2C model, customers can book a single ticket that combines a flight with a bus journey. The service is designed to be seamless, with features like through-checked baggage, allowing passengers to check their luggage at a Landline location and retrieve it at their final destination airport. This platform manages booking integration, ground transportation logistics, and security processes.

The customer-facing product consists of high-end buses equipped with amenities such as soft leather seats, complimentary Wi-Fi, in-seat power, and streaming entertainment, creating a premium travel experience that aligns with airline standards. By using ground transportation, Landline allows its airline partners to serve smaller markets and add dynamic routes more affordably and flexibly than by operating regional jets. The company has raised significant venture capital to fuel its expansion, with a notable Series B funding round of $28 million in April 2022 led by Drive Capital. This funding is aimed at accelerating the company's entry into new major hub markets and further developing its technology platform to streamline the travel day for consumers.
