I think you have two options, either pass the string as you do and use 
string matching:
Filter: alitalia,ryanair
add separators: ,alitalia,ryanair, ($searchParam)
Compare:
msxsl:node-set($base)/item[contains(concat(',', item, ','), $searchParam)] 
">

Alternatively add the parameter as a nodelist, you'll have to change it 
something like <airlines><airline>alitalia</airline>.....
Then you can compare directly as you did initially.
