Sabre’s new airline e-ticketing move
Sabre Airline Solutions has introduced electronic ticketing technology for airlines in support of IATA’s drive for 100% e-ticketing by 2007.
The Sabre airline technology business says Electronic Ticket Essentials enables airlines to distribute electronic tickets through travel agents, ‘interline’ electronic tickets for e-ticketing among multiple carriers, and check in passengers with electronic tickets.
It is based on ‘open’ technology that allows it to communicate with any airline’s own IT system.
A spokesman said: “Unlike the conventional approach to electronic ticketing, which requires significant changes to airline business processes in several areas, Electronic Ticket Essentials retains existing processes within the airline, minimising internal costs and training.
“The product also minimises activation costs, and a transaction fee pricing approach allows carriers of all sizes to realise the full benefits of GDS electronic ticketing.”
Sabre Airline Solutions’ airline passenger solutions president Gianni Marostica said: “Airlines are looking to their technology partners to simplify the travel process – and e-ticketing is an area in which we believe we have strongly delivered robust solutions.”
