IATA project - to simplify the business with e-ticketing

From the first day of operation airlines, airlines and passengers were both with paper tickets as proof of the legal base of operations. This was seen as the standard of travel, until the Internet was invented well. The technologies have used e-ticketing has to be a huge savings for the industry.

The savings are in the following areas:

1. Save on printing costs. The paper tickets are expensive to print. E 'at allThe safety features of current and tickets are numbered. A white card is like a blank check, signed and valuable as the holder in fact write about them all sectors. Airlines are generally accept the card as buyers passengers are usually harmless.

2. Save in the transport and storage: the white cards are treated like cash. It requires a secure transport to business and a special time to time to keep the tickets. A system is needed tomanage the movement of the ticket and request missing paperwork or missing tickets.

3. Save the sales process. The details of the fighting and the buyer must be printed on tickets. This would mean a special printer is needed, a staff office must be fought on key information to passengers to print tickets and go to the passengers. The buyers or their representatives have to spend time together to get tickets.

4. Savings in administrationand system testing. Imagine being responsible at the premises of all tickets for an airline. You have the stock, the printing process and dividends to manage. We require a number of staff to manage the process.

5. Save practices in fraud, theft or tampered tickets. The e-ticket to significantly reduce fraud practices. In the days of paper tickets, it was almost impossible to trace and recover the missing tickets. This is because the ticket can bebe sent to cede some of the world and innocent passengers.

6. E-ticket promotes direct contact between passengers and airlines. With reservations via the Internet will be used in combination, are the travel agents are not required. The absence of intermediaries is more money for the airlines in the region of 3-5% of the tariff.

Conclusion

Even if not addressed, there were many obstacles to implementing e-ticket. First, theairline computer systems and the Internet should be ready. The packages of e-business and Internet reservation systems must be installed first. The project costs are high, especially if the airline aims to implement on time, ahead of time.

We are pleased that despite the challenges, the IATA deadline and had the E-Ticket implemented within the planned four years. The airlines have been in a lot of pressure, no electronic tickets, airlines do notand remove the passengers at airports with respect to e-ticket.
