Triggering a notable improvement in airline development, Belavia has started Electronic Ticketing (ET) through its network of BSP agents in Italy, Austria, Germany, Sweden, Poland, Cyprus, Ukraine, and the Czech Republic in the "Amadeus" GDS. This advanced standard in passenger handling is in operation from July 2006-07.
The advanced IT capabilities in the field of air transport made the transition to ET possible. The world airline community by resolution has decided to cease paper tickets 2008 onwards.
At the current moment, Belavia is to issue ET to all of its international flights. Belavia's Minsk-London-Minsk air service has over 55% passengers E-ticketed on this flight. Within half a year, the Belavia Electronic Ticket has become a usual component of air travel. ET is now the most suitable form of air ticket that has been adopted by the majority of the world airlines.
ET will also be benefiting the Belavia passengers to a great extent. The online Internet-booking implementation on Belavia's website is a convenient service for the passengers. The passengers can also buy tickets online and pay through their credit cards. This facility would save a lot of your precious time, as you can buy tickets from the comforts of your home. You do not have to wait at the long queues and neither do you need to arrive at the airport in advance for being ticketed.
Another advantage is that with ET, you can never lose the tickets. E-tickets are stored in the database of the carrier, so the passenger just needs to be equipped with the passport for checking-in at the airport.
