Posted by Matthew Justice on Aug 29, 2007
The International Air Transport Association (IATA) has announced a "last call" for paper tickets, placing its "final order" for approximately 16.5 million paper tickets to supply 60,000 accredited travel agents in 162 markets until May 31, 2008. IATA DG and CEO Giovanni Bisignani said that e-tickets now account for 84% of the global total, three years and two months since the organization issued its 100% directive. It expects the switch to e-ticketing to save the industry $3 billion per year.
