E-platform launched to benefit air ticketing agents
Aimed at enabling travel agents to access any of the airlines with their inventory at a single window, an integrated E platform was on Tuesday launched by Travel Agents Association of India (TAAI).
"System One is an electronic travel distribution developed using a single platform for the reach and benefit of TAAI members," Rajji Rai, president of TAAI told reporters here.
While currently the system would enable air ticket bookings only, later on car rental, train reservations, hotel bookings and other hospitality services would be included for the benefit of customers and agents, Rai said.
The newly launched system has a unique dual window option to facilitate multiple operations simultaneously.
The system would provide the customer flight schedule, cost and choice of airline with speed, said Rai.
He claimed that the system was "highly secure". It is a desktop-based application that uses a high level of encryption, which allows only an authorised user to operate from a dedicated terminal provided during installation process.
