All three of oneworld`s airline recruits – Japan Airlines, Malev and Royal Jordanian – are on track in their preparations to join the alliance early next year, in particular in implementing interline e-ticketing (IET) with their prospective oneworld partners, enabling passengers to make connections between flights using electronic tickets only.
oneworld has since April 2005 been the only alliance with IET between all its member airlines, enabling passengers to make transfers throughout the group`s network without having to recourse to traditional, losable paper tickets.
The alliance requires all new recruits to offer its full range of services and benefits from the day they become members.
Bringing the three new carriers on board will entail a total of 27 IET connections. Thirteen of them have already been implemented.
British Airways and American Airlines have now completed IET links with all three of the airlines lining up to join the alliance, while Malev has become the first of the newcomers to complete IET links with all of oneworld`s existing members.
JAL already offers IET with five of the alliance`s current members – American Airlines, British Airways, Cathay Pacific, LAN and, most recently, Finnair. Royal Jordanian in August achieved its very fist IET links – with its oneworld sponsor British Airways and then American Airlines.
