Intern This follows 15 carriers moving to e-ticketing through the system since the end of
January, taking the total to more than 100. Latest additions include Korean Air, Malev, Pakistan Internatioanl Airways, Turkish Airlines and Royal Brunei.
Airlines are signing up for e-ticketing in order to meet an IATA deadline of January 2007 to have all carriers offering paperless tickets.
Galileo estimates that e-ticketing airlines save an estimated £5 per ticket while agents can save costs in terms of personnel time, ticket delivery, and shipping and handling costs.
Matthew Hall, vice-president airline business development EMEA for Galileo parent Cendant TDS, said: “These recent agreements further enhance our reputation as a leading e-ticketing provider in the market place.
“We are focused on working with our airline partners to address their distribution goals and through working with them to adopt e-ticketing, we continue to deliver the airlines real value as well as helping to drive IATA’s industry initiative.”
IATA e-ticketing project director Bryan Wilson added: “For the entire travel industry to benefit we need all parties to be engaged in delivering e-ticketing, whether they are airlines, ground handlers or travel agents.”
