Paper airline tickets, once the industry (36) standard, are on the fast track to be forgotten.
If the International Air Transport Association (IATA) has its way, airlines will (37) issue only electronic tickets by the end of 2007, sending paper tickets the way of rapidly (38) disappearing industry services such as in-flight meals and free (39) pillows.
Travelers who opt for electronic tickets check in for flights using a credit card or government ID. The (40) migration to electronic ticketing, which could save millions of dollars, has been underway for more than ten years.
The IATA, a (41) global trade group, said 96 percent of tickets issued by US airlines are electronic, while globally 77 percent of tickets are electronic.
"The US Airlines can see the light at the end of the (42) tunnel" said IATA (43) spokesman Steve Lott. "They are definitely leading the world in terms of e-ticketing and going electronic. "
(44) IATA, which supplies paper tickets to most airlines outside the United States, plans to discontinue that service at the end of this year. Airlines that want to maintain paper ticketing beyond 2007 may continue to do so, but supplies will be costly, Lott said.
(45) The IATA estimates the potential savings associated with electronic ticketing at $ 3 billion a year globally. On average, an airline spends $10 to process a paper ticket compared with $1 to process an electronic ticket. (46) That may appeal to US airlines hungry to cut costs because as paper tickets become less common, the cost of processing them will rise, Lott said.
