Interline e-ticket solution launched to help airlines meet IATA deadline
APG Global Associates has launched a solution for airlines that are struggling to meet IATA’s deadline to switch to interline e-ticketing.
IATA’s ‘Simplifying the Business’ initiative means that from May 31, only e-tickets will be settled via the 81 IATA Billing and Settlement Plans (BSPs) worldwide.
The deadline also applies to interline tickets involving more than one carrier on the same ticket.
APG has therefore launched an interline e-ticketing programme, giving any scheduled airline that is e-ticketing capable access to interline e-ticketing via any GDS with the airline partners of their choice.
APG CEO Sandrine de Saint said: “We identified the urgent need of many airlines for an IET solution and have been working on the development of APG IET for nearly three years.”
