Example: A passenger can use IST to purchase a ticket from Origin Chengdu (CTU) with the destination of Stuttgart (STR). Even if a passenger plans a single trip, this passenger will buy two different tickets. The first sector from CTU to IST will be operated by Sichuan Airlines and the second sector will be operated by Turkish Airlines to Stuttgart. There is no collaboration requirement between two airlines (Interline/Codeshare, etc.) to purchase an "IWC ticket."
