List of airline holding companies

This is a list of airline holding companies , that either own more than one airline or are the parent company of a single airline.

A company or firm in which the holding company owns a significant portion of voting shares , usually 20?50% or a "minority of share ownership", is known as an associate company . A company in which the holding company owns more than 50% voting shares or a "majority of share ownership" is known as a subsidiary . The holding company thus can also be referred to as the parent company at that stage.
