Global travel distributor supports travel industry by increasing airline fare data accuracy and integrity through every point of distribution worldwide
Global travel technology provider Worldspan, L.P. announced it has successfully implemented the new automated Service Fees solution from Airline Tariff Publishing Company (ATPCO), which automates and standardizes the filing, distribution and pricing of airline fuel and insurance fees associated with today's airfares. Having successfully completed testing on October 14, 2005, the new solution became effective for all Worldspan participating carriers on October 23, 2005. Worldspan is first to market with this important new solution, demonstrating its superior commitment to enabling customers with the most advanced technological capabilities possible.
Identified within the airline industry as YQ or YR fees, these fuel and insurance fees vary by airline as well as individual fares. Prior to ATPCO's development of the new Service Fees solution, no standardized data entry fields existed for airlines to input or append the respective fees to their fares-a process that was handled manually, on a per-carrier basis, and therefore subject to error. The new solution is designed to accommodate today's diverse and constantly changing fee structures, and most important, ensure a single, consistent and timely point of transmission for carrier fee data via ATPCO.
