China Southern latest to opt for e-ticketing
HONG KONG— China Southern Airlines has become the 200th airline to implement e-ticketing via its Galileo GDS. With this development, Galileo has implemented e-ticketing on almost 60 carriers this year alone.
Travelport GDS said the signing of China Southern to implement e-ticketing on Galileo “demonstrates the travel industry’s continuing and systematic move to achieving IATA’s goal for all airlines to offer e-tickets by the end of May 2008”.
Travelport COO Kevin Mooney said, “The implementation of e-ticketing by our 200th airline is a significant milestone for Travelport and demonstrates our commitment to providing travel agents worldwide with a fast, efficient and environmentally friendly method of transmitting ticket information, allowing customers to board their flights without a paper ticket.”
ECO-NOTE: Travelport GDS, encompassing both Galileo GDS and Worldspan GDS, issues over 85 percent of all tickets via e-ticketing. As a direct result of this, the combined company says it is saving a minimum of 27 acres of forest per month.
