Galileo estimates that by implementing E-ticketing, the average US Galileo travel agency can save almost $400,000 a year in personnel, shipping and handling costs.
Galileo in 1996 became the first GDS to offer electronic ticketing, according to company officials.
Today, 91% of Galileo-issued tickets in the US for the major airlines are electronic. Globally, nearly 50% of Galileo-issued tickers in eligible countries are electronic.
“Our goal is to reach 10% electronic ticketing in countries where E-ticketing is deployed,” said Ken Esterow, executive vice president of airline services for Cendant’s Travel Distribution Services Division.
