Airlines to Phase Out Paper Tickets by 2008
LAST WEEK AT THE WORLD AIR TRANSPORT SUMMIT IN PARIS, E-TICKETS MOVED from novelty to de rigueur, as the International Air Transport Association (IATA), which represents 261 airlines -- 94 percent of the world's total -- established that all its member airlines should be paperless by 2008. E-tickets were first issued by Alaska Airlines in 1995 and have since grown in popularity, especially with low-cost carriers. E-ticketing is expected to save the industry approximately $3 billion a year.
