ARC's participating carriers include which pair?

• A. Airlines and hotels
• B. Railroads and Airlines
• C. Airlines and shipping lines
• D. Railroads and shipping lines

Answer: (B)

ARC’s participating carriers are the organizations whose tickets are reported and settled through its system. While we often think of airlines, ARC also included railroads because intermodal itineraries—tickets that combine air and rail—were handled through ARC for reporting and settlement. This broader participation means the pair that fits ARC’s concept is railroads alongside airlines. Hotels or shipping lines aren’t carriers in ARC’s ticketing sense, so they don’t fit this framework.
