Airlines retain the right to reschedule flight times, route, change or cancel flights or itineraries independent of and without prior intimation to FareBook.

Instead, it contracts or partners with another airline to fly to that destination. The partner airline is listed as "operated by" in the booking flow.
If your flight is a code share, it will be disclosed to you in the booking process and prior to payment.
