Prorate agreement is the settlement agreement that defines how the interline revenue should be shared among the airlines engaged in the interlining transport. There are mainly two kinds of prorate agreement: Multilateral Prorate Agreement and Special Prorate Agreement.

Multilateral Prorate Agreement
Multilateral prorate agreement is maintained by IATA's General Prorate Meeting in which many airlines are involved. In Multilateral Prorate Agreement, the prorate is generally done according to the ratios of miles each airline flies the interlining passenger.

Special Prorate Agreement
Special proration agreement is generally maintained by two airlines on a bilateral basis. It is common to see one airline claims revenue of a fixed amount for the air segment it flies the interlining passenger.
