Prior to May 01, 2007, all airlines operating in Pakistan and
having their local SalesOffices were following their own set
patterns of sales reports submitted by IATA agentsacross the
country.
This disparity in sales reports preparation was causing a great
deal of troubles for the
IATA agents.
On the other hand, airlines were facing numerous difficulties in
getting sales reports andremittances on schedule, besides frequent
reporting, and accounting mistakescommitted by agents, thus
resulted in heavy short collections. Detection and Recovery ofsuch
short collections was a challenging job.
There was always a need for a fool proof system capable of
addressing all such agentrelated issues.
IATA, from its own platform, was successfully operating a state
of the art system toresolve the complicated problems at both ends,
i.e. Airlines and Agents being IATAmembers.
