E-ticket Quota Control

e-Ticket Quota Control

Thanks to e-Ticket Quota Control, an airline can manage the number of e-ticket issued in NON BSP markets where they deploy Amadeus e-Ticketing Direct.

The quotas are specific per airline and:

• set per IATA T/A;

• defined per sales period (daily, weekly, bi-weekly, monthly);

• automatically renewed at the end of the sales period;

• only related to the e-ticket logical stock. The airline manages the ticket quotas itself directly in Amadeus

system.
