Galileo has introduced Galileo eTracker, a product for travel agents already using its distribution system across Asia Pacific, Europe, the Middle East and Africa. This web-based solution enables agents to view the current status of all electronically issued tickets (e-tickets) using its extensive search and sort capabilities.
With the ever increasing deployment of electronic ticketing by airlines in Asia, agents have highlighted the need to track electronic tickets as approximately 4% of all e-tickets issued remain unused. It is predicted that 70% of air tickets issued in 2006 will be electronic with IATA supporting its vision of 100% e-ticketing by the end of 2007. Unused ticket segments potentially cost clients and agencies millions of dollars unnecessarily every year. Galileo eTracker enables these tickets to be tracked.
Calvin Wong, Director, Product & Technology, Travelport Asia, comments, “Galileo has seen extraordinary increases in both numbers of e-tickets issued and the percentage they represent of the total number of tickets issued by airlines. With this surge in paper-less travel, it is imperative that agents are able to track, check the status of, and void e-tickets. Galileo eTracker is a web based service that has been designed specifically to be used alongside the Galileo GDS, helping agents save time and money for their clients and their own businesses.”
