in plain englishAI-generated · not legal advice

When two or more airlines agree to share one carrier code on flights, they share responsibility. The airline whose code is used is responsible for the quality of service the other airlines give passengers under that code.

If at least two airlines agree to operate flights using a single shared carrier designator code -- known as codesharing -- the airline whose code is being used shares responsibility with the other airlines. That responsibility covers the quality of transportation the public receives, even when a different airline actually operates the flight under that code.
