Our customers talk about ATC

“All staff find Amadeus Ticket Changer fantastic. Once they have tried itthey definitely don’t want go back to the manual process”

Air France - CTO

“Amadeus Ticket Changer enables us to streamline our business processto deliver a quicker and more responsive service to our customer,

whatever channel he uses: our website or our sales agent”

Tom Kalström, VP e-Business, Finnair

“To me the greatest advantage of using this tool is the fact that it determines the appropriate penalty. With the airlines having so many different penalties and rules these days - this tool is a HUGE time saver. It eliminates having to read fare rules (some times past date) or even worse calling the airline! ”

Central Travel (US )

“It is the best thing since sliced bread!! ”UniGlobe (US)

Our customers talk about ATC

Эйр Астана" первая среди авиакомпаний СНГ внедрила решение автоматического перевыпуска в

Amadeus Automated Ticket Changer

Алматы, Казахстан, 14 июля 2008: Крупнейший авиаперевозчик Центральной Азии "Эйр Астана“

полностью переходит на обслуживание пассажиров с помощью решения автоматического

Перевыпуска авиабилетов, предоставленного компанией Amadeus - мирового лидера по

технологиям для индустрии туризма и путешествий.

"Эйр Астана" выбрала систему автоматического расчета изменений билетов

Amadeus Automatic Ticket Changer (ATC) после тщательной оценки ее возможностей и преимуществ.

Благодаря нововведению клиенты авиакомпании "Эйр Астана" смогут значительно сэкономить

свое время в случае замены билета, а агенты по продажам авиабилетов смогут избежать ошибок

даже в ситуациях, ранее требующих у сотрудника более пристального внимания.

Amadeus полностью автоматизирует сложный процесс изменений билета и помогает

сэкономить до 80% времени.

Ашендра Лианаге, Вице-президент по продажам и маркетингу авиакомпании "Эйр Астана": "ATC дает нам возможность обеспечить наших уважаемых клиентов оперативным и эффективным обслуживанием по самым высоким стандартам. Вместо сложного и занимающего определенное время процесса замены билета, мы предложим нашим клиентам более разнообразные и гибкие возможности планирования путешествий".

Frequently Asked QuestionsWhy collecting penalty via MCO?This is the IATA recommended practice. Virtual MCO and soon EMD documents can also be used instead of paper MCO to facilitate the exchange process with the customer while remaining compliant with IATA standards

When EMD will be available in 2009, will it be automatically used for ATC?Yes and we will ensure a seamless migration from paper/virtual documents towards electronic documents

Is it possible to collect fees with ATC?The Amadeus Service Fee Manager can already be used in conjunction with ATC in the PNR environment after the ATC confirmed transaction. It allows the agent to trigger fee rules for ticket issuance or to apply manual flat fees. Regarding the airlines, the Airline Ticketing Fee (A.K.A OB fee) inclusion in ATC process is planned after 2009

What are the initiatives taken by 1A to further simplify the reissue flow when the agent has to add-collect and refund money in the same reissue transaction1A is very active in IATA working groups and has proposed to the industry a full methodology called Netting to consolidate all the different amounts involved in a reissue transaction with the objectives to reduce the issuance of ticketing documents while increasing the traceability of data all the way through, from pricing to revenue accounting which is available today for airlines. A netting solution for travel agencies is to be studied

Frequently Asked QuestionsDoes ATC handle no show situations?Yes it does. This is controlled by a specific coding in the category 31 filed by the airlines

For multi-pax PNRs, is it possible to issue all new tickets and all related MCOs in one single request?Yes, this is possible for airlines using both ATC and the Amadeus e-ticket serverFor other airlines and for travel agencies, the new tickets and related MCOs will have to be issued pax per pax

Is it possible to utilize ATC to reissue tickets originally priced with fares of airlines that have not yet filed their reissue policy in the category 31?No, the pre-requisite for using ATC is that all fares priced in the ticket to be changed have a category 31 attached. However, the list of airlines filing category 31 grows every month and will continue so to reach full coverage rapidly

Is it possible to use ATC to reissue tickets for interline tickets? Yes, provided that the fares on the original ticket have a category 31 attached

Frequently Asked Questions

What about the competition?The Sabre tool for travel agencies is not based on the ATPCO category 31 (the industry standard )and therefore the penalty fee calculation has be assessed manually by the agent. This type of product cannot be compared to a fully automated product like Amadeus Ticket Changer

TheTravelport tool is mainly focused on the US domestic market and is therefore limited when it comes to international reissues involving other currencies than the USD
