Did you notice the line for offline which I highlighted? That is if you have 2 separate ticket and need to recheck in transfer counters. I think among the airport I have visited, Singapore, Bangkok, JNB. Kuwait and some others all offered this offline transfer facility. Also VIA MILANO is an excellent example of how airport help people with separate tickets on transit.

Here there is one website has some major offline and online transfer MCT in its website if you have no access of KVS or Expertflyer:



So the practise is there and very up-to-date. Please notice the narrow definition of offline transfer used by ET is 'destination flies in connection to other carriers', this includes airports that through check luggage is not possible and may require check-in at transfer counters or departure hall due to interline agreement and facility restrictions. For example, Hangzhou in this list. My memory serves me that you need to pick up your bag and go to departure hall to check-in again. I could be wrong but again, from my personal experience, there are many airports do help people with separate tickets.
