Great advantages for your business!
Ticketing is now 100% electronic! You now benefit from significant cost reduction and end-customers enjoy considerable increases in efficiency.
With Amadeus Electronic Ticketing you now benefit from significant cost reduction and end-customers enjoy a considerable increase in efficiency, compared to the previous paper environment.
On 31st May 2008, the airline industry achieved a great milestone: 100% electronic ticketing worldwide. This is an objective that Amadeus strove for from the very beginning, and which was made all the more possible with the introduction of bespoke features such as Amadeus Electronic Ticketing Direct option and Amadeus Virtual MCO.
Global number One in e-Ticketing
Amadeus is the undisputed industry leader in the number of airlines implemented, markets deployed and interlines activated. Working with Amadeus, travel agents are guaranteed the largest community of carriers and markets using Electronic Ticketing around the world!
e-Ticketing everywhere
To ensure a seamless e-ticketing transition, Amadeus developed innovative e-ticketing solutions. Amadeus Electronic Ticketing Direct enables authorized travel agents to issue electronic tickets and report these transactions directly to the airline revenue accounting systems, without having to report them first to the Billing & Settlement Plan (BSP). Amadeus Virtual MCO is an interim solution allowing travel agents to book items that are not yet fully e-ticketing compliant.
Your technology partner
While the transition to a 100% e-ticketing environment ultimately required travel agency adoption and support, Amadeus was your technology partner to support you in this endeavor. The online user-guide should provide you with support and answers to all questions raised during the transition. It will continue to be updated regularly to ensure you have the latest information as the remaining airlines continue to adapt.
