The transfer centres that one world (the association of airlines) uses are presumably going to make more (airline) connections easier. So apparently something is going to be done so that if you have to change planes at an airport, it will be easier for you to do that. If you're looking for the meaning of "centre to", you're splitting the sentence into its parts incorrectly.

Thank you for the detailed explanations, I was going to make a terrible mistake. I thought centres was being used as a verb here. Obviously I need context to read correctly..
Thank you,

mitsuwao23I thought centres was being used as a verb here.This is not surprising. It seems that 90% of the words in English can be either nouns or verbs! And headlines leave out so many words that we're all left wondering which words are the nouns and which are the verbs. Even native speakers have this problem at times.
