Amadeus e-Ticket Gateway

Amadeus e-Ticket Gateway Join the world's largest  interline e-ticket network

Amadeus e-Ticket Gateway overview

Amadeus e-Ticket Gateway allows airlines already equipped with a fully functional e-ticketing database to connect to the leading Amadeus e-Ticketing network. They can then implement additional interline links faster and more cost effectively.

The Amadeus e-Ticketing network connects over 300 airlines using uniform and proven standards - and it is growing every month.

Airlines using Amadeus e-Ticket Gateway can also access Amadeus' experienced resources to rapidly implement any additional e-ticket interline links with airlines not yet on the network.

Airlines using Amadeus e-Ticket Server are automatically connected to the Amadeus e-Ticket Gateway.

The community based model allows you to remain compliant with all IATA resolutions, without the need for constant costly development.

Who can use it?

Amadeus e-Ticket Gateway is targeted at airlines already using an e-ticketing solution that supports interlining but with a back log of interline links to implement.

If your current e-ticketing solution is missing some required functionality, you should consider migrating to Amadeus e-Ticket Server, which will save you time and development cost.

Implementation

The Amadeus e-Ticket Gateway can be installed rapidly for any airline. Implementation typically takes less than 1 month (for the single link and interlining with partners already using the Amadeus e-Ticketing network).

Amadeus has achieved over 3000 interline e-ticketing links to date.
