Since the volcanic ash cloud crisis of last April, a number of high level representatives of the European Union, including Vice President of the European Commission and Transport Commissioner Siim Kallas, have expressed an interest in intramodal and intermodal “through-ticketing” for passengers.

And what can be the limits to the “through ticketing” offer and why?
