Demo: Amadeus Electronic Ticketing - the complete e-ticketing package
The extraordinary Amadeus Virtual MCO solution has simply made our life easier compared to other products available today. Adaptation at Nouvelles Frontières was smooth as there was minimal impact to our existing processes. This is a real transition solution until the EMD delivery and we felt true collaboration with Amadeus to deliver in time for the 1st of June deadline. This is the kind of best practice we, at Nouvelles Frontières, would like to see reproduced with all product launches.Nouvelles Frontières / Label Tour
Great advantages for your business!
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. See the demo for an overview of the complete Amadeus Electronic Ticketing package, including the Amadeus Electronic Ticketing Direct option and Amadeus Virtual MCO.
Global number One in e-Ticketing
The transition to global e-Ticketing has been a resounding success and Amadeus continues to be 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!
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.
As your technology partner, Amadeus has developed a fully operational solution to issue documents for travel related services while waiting for the industry to ready itself for Electronic Miscellaneous Documents. Fully integrated into your daily workflow, including sales reporting and Back Office, Amadeus Virtual MCO also allows printing of documents and sending of the passenger receipt directly to the customer by e-mail.
Amadeus Electronic Ticketing Direct
To ensure truly global e-Ticketing, even in markets where a Billing & Settlement Plan is not available, or where airlines don't participate in the local BSP, Amadeus has also developed this innovative solution. 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).
