About Us:

The biggest airlines in the world trust Landline to power their first and last mile connectivity. Landline’s industry first platform allows airlines to leverage the seamlessness and affordability of ground transportation to add dynamic new routes to their networks without sacrificing on quality or customer experience. We are increasing the capacity of the global airport system by redistributing security screening to underutilized airports and, in the future, to remote security screening checkpoints.

Today, Landline operates seamless multimodal networks on behalf of American, United, Air Canada and Sun Country Airlines. Landline is backed by top-tier venture and travel investors and is fundamentally reshaping the way every consumer thinks about their travel day.
