Bangkok Airways
has successfully launched E-Tickets on both of its Japanese routes: Bangkok-Hiroshima and Bangkok-Fukuoka – making 80% of the airline’s tickets now E-Tickets.
The airline
expects to a complete E-Ticket implementation across all routes by May
2008, inline with IATA's deadline. The airline adopted electronic
tickets on all its domestic routes in July 2003, whilst flights to/ from Cambodia and Laos had it in place by mid 2006. Singapore followed
suit in November 2006, and Hong Kong in March 2007.
The remaining
routes of The Maldives and four destinations in China: Jinghong, Shenzhen, Guilin, Xi’an;
are subject to completion by the end of this year.
The merit of E-Tickets is
practicality and economical. Passengers can rest assured that ticket loss will
no longer be problematic while traveling with E-Tickets. Subsequently, the E-Tickets help speed up the airline's sales flow at a higher
volume. E-Tickets are also available on the airline's website.
