By deploying e-ticketing, airlines contribute to their own operational
cost-efficiencies, improve their revenue accounting processes and enhance
service to their customers. E-ticketing allows travellers to enjoy greater
freedom and efficiency. Galileo's agency customers will also enjoy benefits
from this service enhancement.
"All parties in the travel equation, including Galileo's airline
customers, travel agencies, and travellers in the Asia Pacific benefit from
