Biman Bangladesh Airlines is going to introduce e-ticketing system instead of conventional system as part of its modernisation process to ensure an effective coordination with modern airlines.
Under the new system, there will be travel schedule, ticket notice and a number on the ticket, which will be preserved in the airlines data system, says a press release.
The national flag carrier has decided to introduce the e-ticketing system in line with the regulations of International Air Transport Association (IATA).
The IATA has made it mandatory that world's all airlines should install the e-ticketing system before December 2007.
To maintain the IATA's deadline for installing e-ticketing system, Biman Bangladesh already has signed an agreement with the Society of International Telecommunications Aeronautics (SITA) on Sunday.
General Manager (Sales) of Biman Mohammad Shah Newaz and Client Services Director of SITA Steve Burnerd signed the agreement on behalf of their respective sides.
The Biman authorities expect that they will be able to introduce the new system by June 2007, six months before the deadline. Biman will experimentally introduce the e-ticketing system on some suitable routes by December 2006, the release mentioned.
