The policy of North Atlantic passenger-ship operators not to co-operate with airlines was broken in October 1956, when Trans World Airlines and American Export Lines established a series of joint air-sea cruises. A passenger may travel by ship to Mediterranean ports and, after a European sightseeing tour, may fly back to New York.

Another important 1956 step in air-surface co-operation was an arrangement by which United Air Lines tickets are sold by the Southern Pacific Railway at about 130 points where United has no ticket office of its own.
