Los Angeles, CA – USA December 7, 2007
As IATA's June 2008 deadline for 100% e-ticketing closes in, a growing number of airlines have prepared to accommodate not only passengers, but employee travelers and their families, using the standalone web-based solution offered by ID90 TECHNOLOGIES (ID90T). While helping airlines comply with the e-ticketing mandate, ID90T's Interline Fare CalculatorŪ (IFC), the end-user interface to ID90T's e-ticketing Platform, transforms the way airlines issue tickets for their employees and eligible family members.
The ID90T solution saves the airlines enormous costs that they experienced in the past to fulfill employee travel needs, while providing employees with new conveniences that far outpace the industry standard.
"Each airline has unique needs, so instead of focusing on creating a standardized e-ticketing solution that requires industry conformity, we built a customizable solution with no development costs to the airlines," explains Tristan Schukraft, Managing Director, ID90T.
"We've paved the way for airlines to not only meet the e-ticketing mandate, but to evolve to a new level of service for their employees while simultaneously eliminating costs that were involved in the cumbersome process used in the past."
"ID90T provides a way for airlines to keep pace with higher compliance demands as well as to immediately move forward into a future business model that utilizes advanced technology," says Schukraft. "Because ID90T works directly with its client airlines' reservation systems, tickets are not issued to employees through an outside GDS (global distribution system), resulting in a simpler, cost efficient process that is sorely needed at a time when costs are rising," says Schukraft.
Airlines including jetBlue, Hawaiian, Aloha, TransStates, SkyWest, Expressjet, and others have already signed on as clients with ID90T, and many more are in the final approval stage.
The IFC allows airline employees to input the departure and arrival city of their desired travel itinerary to display the employees' various flight options and schedule times, for both online and offline employee air travel. Using advanced technology and the latest IATA and OAG resources, the IFC automatically maintains all data, so the airline can be confident all the information being communicated to their employees is accurate, including but not limited to; schedule updates, new embargoes, agreement changes, fare changes, taxes, fees and charges and even flight load information.
It streamlines the processes of employment verification, travel planning, pricing, issuing and refunding of e-tickets, with 24-hour call center support. For the first time, employees will have access to unprecedented conveniences and benefits including immediate refunds, text message notifications for flight delays and/or flight load updates, pre-stored alternate itineraries, multiple payment options (PayPal, online checks and credit cards), and much more.
